-- Roy P. Bower, Rocky Mount, NC"I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with years of experience, and I'd recommend Steve most highly for anyone who's dealing with communication blockages or emotional challenges. He's my go-to person for healing empathy because he has an amazing way of helping me to shift the way we look at things. He has a gift for translating even painful situations into a pure language of nonviolence and compassion, without any judgments. That's what really helps to clear the way for more enlightened solutions. I can count on him when I really need to be heard and supported on an emotional or deeply spiritual level. We've gotten insights into understanding precisely what everyone's unmet needs were in any situation, and support in finding sensible ways to get those needs expressed and fulfilled."
-- Monica Joseph, LMHC, Naples, FLSometimes categorized as
alternative marriage counseling, this work has its roots in the humanistic psychology of Carl Rogers. As a form of deeply empathetic counseling, it places strong emphasis on providing more than one layer of empathy. Only then, when both parties have had their needs for empathy fulfilled, does it move on to strategic, creative brainstorming. That's when we can work together to find practical solutions. You'll find it's effective with even the most challenging relationship problems.

TESTIMONIALS:
"Steve...I loved your session! It was the first time ever I felt like I was finally heard and understood. It was the first time ever that I truly empathized with someone and really knew where they are coming from. It was the first time ever that it wasn't 'just me' ... it was both of us that were truly listening to each other and communicating the real feelings and needs that reside within us...thanks to your expert coaching and mediation!"
-- Timothy, Ft. Lauderdale, FLMr. Pollack is not your average wisdom speaker, he is more like a healer that's communicating a message. A message that is so personal when delivered in a group session that you feel as though it's the two of you having a meaningful dialogue. A dialogue that soothes and comforts, and that's coated with humor."
-- Irwin Royster, Atlanta, GA"As I read through all that Steve has written ... I see a man who represents what I believe he would like to help others achieve in their own lives. Among other qualities, he is relaxed, comfortable, knowledgeable, skilled, focused, helpful and "in the moment," regardless of what else he may have going on in his life. Communication is the key."
