My Approach to Helping

Are you looking for a flexible therapist that is willing to listen to you, work with you and help you reach your goals? Mike Pollard is a individual, marriage and family therapist that specializes in addictions. With over 10 years of experience, he has worked with many families and couples. His philosophy is that "divorce is not an option" and works to secure the integrity of the marriage bond. In addition to couples therapy, Mike has worked with many teenagers that were addicted to drugs/alcohol and lacked motivation to complete school. Many are now happy, well adjusted older teens/young adults on the right track. Mike is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and has devoted much of his study to sexual addiction. This is a commonly misunderstood addiction that has devastating effects on the addict as well as his/her family. Mike is very concerned with people's privacy issues and nothing will be shared with outside agencies. Please call now to set up an appointment and begin the road of healing.
