PSYCHOTHERAPIST

Gregory Poll, MA

After several years of studying Gestalt Psychotherapy—and going through deep personal growth and transformation—I made a conscious choice to focus more on the things I love, and less on the things I felt I should do. One of the things I love most is connecting with and supporting others.

What I enjoy most is the unique and ever-evolving relationships I build with each of my clients.

I'm passionate about inspiring, encouraging, and walking alongside people as they discover their own inner resources—helping them grow in strength, self-worth, confidence, and independence.

“I’m realizing that it is not important what really happened to me in the past that matters the most, but how I do make sense of it now.”
