Introduction: Hi, I’m Barbara Polonsky, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, but you might also call me a Holistic Psychotherapist guiding you through the challenges of life transitions. This applies to parents, as well, who face challenges as they parent their children from one stage of development to the next, often requiring a change in parent skills as well as perspective.
I help people who long to feel empowered to take charge of getting what they want in their lives, but are not clear about how to get it, fearful of change, or are afraid to step into their own power. I guide them in discovering the strengths they have to change their lives so that they can uncover the power they’ve always had to pursue a sense of happiness, purpose and fulfillment.
I know from my own challenges on the path to wellness as well as working with women over the past 30+ years that facing some truths about our lives can stir up tremendous discomfort and resistance and I’d like to help you get through the emotional blocks that are keeping you stuck in a place of lack and unhappiness so you can confront these challenging transitions (divorce/separation, empty-nest, career change, relationships) with the bravery you know is inside you.
I believe living from a place of truth and courage will change your world and that is why I hope you will schedule a free phone consult with me today. Or you can send me a message about what you most want support with.
You deserve all the love and compassion that you can give to yourself!

My greatest fulfillment as a psychotherapist is watching my clients grow into their fullest potential as a result of the guidance and self-discovery they experience during their sessions with me. Being able to witness another's personal growth in their self-esteem, self-confidence, sense of security, and empowerment is quite an honor as my clients journey through a life of challenging transitions.
