Greg Podolak

My clients describe me as:

A "unicorn". I utilize my lived experience with Public Safety, to provide a different therapeutic experience.

Something to know about my approach is:

I am very culturally competent for Public Safety Workers, which allows for me to utilize unique skills from both my lived experience, as well as academic/volunteer experiences. I utilize strong interpersonal skills to create a safe space for FR's.

Together, we will:

Work towards identifying, understanding and working towards goals that combat current issues that a person may be experiencing.

I specialize in working with people who:

are First Responders. Their presenting problems do not have to solely be from the job.

I became a therapist because:

I want to normalize the idea of "it's ok to not be ok" in the First Responder community.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My office has patches, challenge coins and diecast models of police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and tanks.

More about me and my practice:

To this date, I have working relationships with 7 departments, including First Prescient RPD, RAA and CPD.
