Hi! My name is Ruth Pollak, LCSW, Licensed Social Worker in Colorado. I have been in private practice for decades. I work with adults experiencing Life's transitions, Grief, Anxiety and Depression.

Are you ready to make changes in your internal world to help with changes in your life, and ready to have help doing it? We're meant to do life with others, and change can be scary and difficult, so why not have a professional partner with you in compassion, empathy, and directness to challenge the ways of thinking and avoidance of feelings that have gotten you stuck? Some issues I work with frequently: anxiety, OCD, grief, trauma, substance use compulsions, codependence, enabling behaviors, boundaries, low self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, and more. I am educated and experienced in several methods of therapy, so I can tailor treatment to your specific needs and style. I am licensed in Colorado, Arizona, Virginia, and Washington, offering online sessions in all three states and some in-person sessions in Aurora, CO. I am a summa cum laude graduate in both my bachelor's and master's programs, and am an EMDR Approved Consultant, offering consultation to therapists interested in becoming certified in EMDR. In addition to working with adult individuals, I also help couples. All relationships experience disconnections and conflict. You can get back those good feelings that brought you together in the first place. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help change negative patterns. Partnerships often start with an intense connection, but over time can fade. I offer a way for you to learn how to communicate in ways that bring you closer together by helping you understand negative patterns of communicating, allowing each of you to express thoughts and fears in safe, respectful ways to help you feel more bonded and close again. Contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if I have current openings and to talk about what you are looking for help with.

True Happiness and Stability Stems from the Quality of our Significant Relationships! Welcome! I provide therapy for children, adolescents, individuals, elders, couples, and families. I work from a strength-based, solution-focused, and systemic or relational orientation. I focus on people's strengths and possibilities while addressing their real life challenges. I provide a wide variety of evidence-based treatment approaches. Which means that all the therapy that I implement is highly researched and therefore, proven to work, if followed correctly. I also practice family play therapy and child-centered play therapy. In addition, I provide personality, relationship (couple) and career assessments. I believe in a holistic approach to the therapeutic process that incorporates biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions empowering a person or family towards mastering life to its fullest. The central importance of grounded relationships provides irreplaceable benefits to the systemic dynamics of a person and their family. A family's patterns of behavior influences the individual and therefore usually needs to be part of the treatment plan. In family therapy, the unit of treatment isn't just the person, even if only a single person is interviewed, it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded. Research indicates that family therapy is more effective than standard andor individual treatments for many mental health problems. Education I was born and raised in Lake Forest, Illinois. I received my bachelor degrees in Psychology and Fine Arts from the University of Colorado at Boulder where I graduated Magna Cum Laude and With Distinction in 2004. I was invited and initiated into Phi Beta Kappa (Academic Honor Society) in 2003 and Psi Chi (The International Honor Society in Psychology) in 2002. I hold a Doctorate of Philosophy degree in Counseling and a clinical Master's of Science degree in Marital and Family Therapy from Loma Linda University Medical Center, a COAMFTE-Accredited Program, (Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education) where I graduated with a 4.0 GPA in 2008. A Marriage and Family Therapist with a COAMFT-Accredited Degree assures a prospective patient that the therapist has undertaken a superior course of professional preparation in the clinical practice of Marriage and Family Therapy. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, (LMFT): #MFT 1131 Colorado. The field of Marriage and Family Therapy is a distinct discipline from other mental health professions. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) have an academic graduate degree specializing in family and interpersonal dynamics. LMFTs treat individuals in the context of family relationships, addressing issues from anger and resentment to intimacy and communication skills. They are also licensed to diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders, other health and behavioral problems, and address a wide array of relationship issues within the family system.

I believe the therapeutic relationship should feel safe, collaborative, and empowering. I approach counseling with the belief that every person has strengths, resilience, and the capacity to grow, even when life feels overwhelming. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply, build practical skills, and create meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I tailor therapy to each client using evidence-based approaches. Together, we’ll explore what’s getting in the way, build skills that support emotional regulation and resilience, and work toward the life you want to live. I want to help you feel supported, capable, and more in control of your life. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with compassion, honesty, and practical tools, I’d be honored to connect. I’m currently available for telehealth and in-person therapy sessions.
Living with identities that are often misunderstood and left out of traditional therapy can make it difficult to find the right therapist. If you're exhausted from trying to act the way other people expect you to, stressed from living in a society that often still feels stuck in the 50's, and worried that the person you ask for help is going to judge and misunderstand your intersecting identifies, I totally get it. It really sucks to feel pressured into being someone you aren't, and it's time to let that go and embrace the freedom of finally being yourself. I'm a queer, neurodivergent, sex positive, kink practicing, non-monogamous therapist with over 12 years of experience. CBT, DBT, EMDR, and Gottman are all great methods, but my clients need someone who knows how to strip away the parts that don't work for them and create strategies that do. That's why I focus on adapting powerful therapies to unique minds. Let me know if you're ready to work with someone who truly understands people who don't fit neatly into the mainstream. Ready for a therapist who adapts the best techniques to your way of thinking, your sensory needs, and your lifestyle. Click “Book Now” to schedule a free 20-minute consultation and let's see if it's a good fit. I'm ready to help.
Depression and anxiety have become some of the most significant mental health concerns facing high-functioning women today, in part because achievement can often hide emotional distress rather than prevent it. Many women are navigating demanding careers, relationships, parenting, caregiving, financial responsibilities, and the expectation that they should manage all of these roles successfully while appearing confident and capable. The result can be a quiet form of exhaustion in which a woman continues meeting deadlines, caring for others, and accomplishing her goals while privately experiencing chronic worry, self-doubt, emotional fatigue, or a persistent sense that she is never doing enough. For many, anxiety becomes intertwined with perfectionism and the fear of falling behind, while depression can emerge when the constant effort to meet expectations leaves little room for rest, connection, or a genuine sense of fulfillment. What makes these struggles particularly significant is that they are often overlooked precisely because the woman appears to be functioning well. Beneath the accomplishments, however, there may be a profound need to slow down, reconnect with herself, establish healthier boundaries, and recognize that being capable does not mean she has to carry everything alone. My philosophy in working with high-functioning women experiencing anxiety, depression, and chronic stress is rooted in partnership, compassion, and the belief that therapy should be a place where you can finally take a breath and reconnect with yourself. Together, we can explore the places in your life where you may have become disconnected from your own needs while constantly showing up for everyone and everything around you. Rather than simply asking you to manage your stress better, I want to help you understand what your mind and body may be asking for and identify meaningful, realistic ways to begin showing up for yourself again. Therapy becomes a space to slow down, reconnect with what matters to you, create healthier boundaries, and find relief from the feeling that you always have to hold everything together. My goal is not to change who you are, but to help you feel more like yourself again.
Do you often struggle in your relationships, whether it be with family members, romantic partners, or friends? Are you an overwhelmed parent at a loss for how to care for both your child and yourself? Do you find it challenging to set boundaries and ask for what you need? Maybe you feel stuck, anxious, and burdened by past events. If your goal is to become your most authentic self, increase feelings of self-worth, discover your inner resources, and strengthen your relationships, then I can help! I primarily draw from experiential approaches, including Internal Family Systems (parts work), somatic experiencing, and emotionally focused therapy. I also incorporate narrative therapy to help you explore the stories that have shaped you—and consider how you might begin to re-author them in ways that align with your growth. I believe there is an inner child in all of us urging us to heal the relationship between our mind and body, and therapy is a place we can explore this together. If you are looking for support for yourself, your teenager, your relationship, and/or your family, then let's connect. You are deserving of deep healing.
Has someone in your life told you that drinking or drugs are a problem for you? They're wrong! Your use is not the problem, it's a solution! Substances help us cope with the slings and arrows of life. Drinking is merely a symptom of something deeper with which you’re struggling. We need to get down to the causes and conditions of your substance use. My name is Adam, I’m in long-term recovery and I would like to give you something that was given to me. If you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired, please call me. Let’s see if we’re a good fit for each other. My approach to therapy is simple but not easy, we are going to do some work. First, are you ready to be completely honest with yourself? If you can say “yes” then you may be ready to get clean and sober. If you’re not quite ready to give up alcohol, we can also look at harm reduction in your drinking, there is a solution and there is hope. Would you like to work with a guy that has been where you've been? Maybe you feel it’s too late? Maybe you feel you’ve already lost people? There is hope, countless people recover from drugs and alcohol every day, why not you? Let’s talk, call me right now.t
