About Me Denise Pollack, MEd, LPC, NCC Easton, PA (Lehigh Valley) I received a Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from Lehigh University it 1998. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania, and I am a National Certified Counselor. I am a member of the Lehigh Valley Psychological Association, the Pennsylvania Counseling Association, the American Counseling Association, and the American Psychological Association. Prior to pursuing a degree in counseling, I had earned a B.F.A. from Temple University. I worked as a corporate graphic designer and art director for many years. During my career as a designer, I worked in Houston, Texas and Princeton, New Jersey. I was accustomed to the excitement, deadlines, and fast-paced environment. I enjoyed the dynamics of interacting with a diverse assortment of coworkers and clients. I understood the challenge of arriving at a consensus when working with individuals who each held a different perspective. After starting a family, I found it very stressful to continue to work full time. When we moved to the Lehigh Valley I continued to work as a freelance designer. I worked from home and had a flexible schedule. Eventually, I felt frustrated, in the absence of the support of a comprehensive design firm, so I decided to switch fields. I enrolled in graduate school when my son and daughter were students in elementary school. I believe they benefitted from observing my work ethic, as it related to areas that were familiar to them, such as homework and school projects. I spent my internship year working as a family counselor for a local agency. I realized that, unlike many of my colleagues, I really enjoyed counseling adolescents. After graduating, I started working as an independent contractor for agencies that primarily serve teens. I continue to work part-time in school settings in conjunction with my private practice, where I counsel both teens and adults. My professional skills, work history, and family life have provided a distinct blend of insight and experience. I have undergone many of the same stressors that my clients bring to therapy. I understand, and I will do my best to help. home | about me | adults | adolescents fees | questions | contact me Denise Pollack Counseling 2925 William Penn Highway #306 (Click address for map & directions) Easton, PA 18045 (Lehigh Valley) 610-392-3862 Office Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. E-mail: denpo@enter.net
