Elisabeth Pollack

My clients describe me as:

Engaged, easy to open to, perceptive, curious, empathetic, direct, insightful, and effective. My clients share feeling seen and supported by me.

Something to know about my approach is:

I believe that cultivating connection and warmth in our relationship is foundational to healing. I have a collaborative approach that is trauma informed and that leads to deep healing. I will support you in finding your own inner wisdom.

Together, we will:

Work to help you find relief and cultivate a better baseline of feeling and being in the world that allows for more joy. I can show you a kinder and more supportive way to treat yourself and help you find freedom from your past.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are self critical, perfectionists, people pleasers, and generally anxious. I specialize in working with people who have had hard childhoods and who are struggling with the impact of painful life experiences. I love working with millennials.

I became a therapist because:

I care more about what lives inside us all, within the walls we may have built for our own protection, than about the façade that we show the world.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer therapy across CA virtually - you can keep your furry friend close and stay cozy. I also offer therapy in my beautiful Santa Barbara office.

More about me and my practice:

I am a certified EMDR provider and am skilled in using a holistic approach to help my clients to feel better and to lead more fulfilling and purpose-driven lives. I help people learn to develop self compassion and to find freedom from their pasts.
