Eric Polacek, BS Psychology

Mental Health Professional

Currently pursuing Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy

I have extensive experience working with children (and families) on behavioral, emotional, self-regulation skills and techniques. I am particularly fond of working with neurodiverse individuals. Unconditional positive regard and collaborative problem solving are often forgotten when working with kids and is integral to the work I do. I focus on helping kids to find their strengths and tools that they already possess, to assist them in reaching goals. I can establish good boundaries, communication skills and more. Having someone on your team invested in your success is vital in moving almost anything from overwhelming to approachable.

I focus on bringing positivity into every session, emphasizing the importance of a strong therapeutic relationship. Creating a relaxed, approachable, and playful treatment experience is important to me. Kids I work with find me to be an excellent listener, supportive, reassuring, and fun. I motivate them to gain the confidence and abilities necessary to manage daily life and stressful situations. I ensure that they learn and can access the skills, tools, and support needed to achieve whatever they strive for. When therapeutic work is approached in a fun way, it doesn’t feel like work at all!
