Testimonials for
Marcy Pollitt
“Having done a lot of training and personal treatment over my many years as a practicing psychologist, Marcy is one of the most skilled and accessible psychotherapists I've ever known. She nimbly shifts from working with my teenage daughter, to our family, and then even to couples therapy. We've substantially benefited thanks to Marcy's breadth of experience, wisdom, and ability to pivot in real time to whatever the system needs. Her training in somatics and psychodrama is subtly yet profoundly woven into sessions in ways that deepen and help the changes stick in ways that often elude traditional talk therapy.”
-Caitlin W., PsyD
“Marcy Pollitt LCSW-R, is a truly genuine caring compassionate down to earth person and therapist. She cares deeply about her patients, and is easy to talk to. She used all of her knowledge and therapeutic skills to guide me thru my healing journey of Complex PTSD. I could barely talk at first, but with her caring and compassion I am now strong and healthy! When I saw Marcy, it felt like I was finally taking care of myself in doing so!”

"I am so eternally grateful for having Marcy in my life in her capacity as my therapist. Using somatic and psychodramatic techniques, along with just having an overall warm, empathic nature, she’s been able to help me process deep familial wounds and detangle narratives that no longer serve me. She has truly helped me see my worth. She guides with love and her love and care is palpable! I am so grateful to be able to receive guidance from her. Thank you, Marcy!"

“When I sit with Marcy and hear her wise wise words I often feel almost selfish. I am getting so much top level support and there are so many people in my life who need Marcy. The best that I can do is to share some of what she gives me with others. The breakthroughs are many, unexpected and surprise me every time. It’s often just a simple adjustment but it can be so profound. I ALWAYS feel better after a visit with Marcy. Her support and unparalleled insight has given me the family life I have always dreamed about- and has spilled over to support every area of my life.”

“We decided to see Marcy because we needed some help with our relationship. We were thinking about getting married but felt that there were some things we needed to work on to make our union more loving. We both wanted to feel really good about the decision to spend the rest of our lives together and working with Marcy helped us achieve that goal. Her therapeutic skills and her understanding of relational issues combined with her approach of creating empathy and compassion for each other was key to navigating our differences and it brought us closer together. Thank you Marcy! We are so grateful to you and if and when we hit a rough patch we will certainly reach out to you.”

“I met Marcy as she assisted the Somatic Experiencing training I participated in 7 years ago. Since that time I have come to rely on her supervision for particularly challenging CPTSD cases. I have appreciated her insights of mixing SE with her other modalities. For this reason I asked Marcy for assistance with an even more complex case. As a seasoned Trauma therapist of many decades, I often find 1-2 sessions per week simply not enough to manage the physical & emotional pain that someone is experiencing as they struggle with their symptoms. When Marcy suggested doing an Intensive of 16 hours over 3 days, my client and I were both intrigued. My client did her 1st intensive with Marcy to significant positive effect. When Marcy asked me to join her in the 2nd intensive I was excited to be a part of and a witness to the intensive therapy process she created with the client I had worked with for a long time.
First, I must say that Marcy is the kindest & most gentle therapist I’ve worked with. Her intuitive awareness of “What’s coming up” in the somatic awareness of the client helped the client come to trust her own experience and interrupt the dissociative state to great effect. The client greatly expanded her ability to stay in the safety of the present moment.
Her use of Psycho Drama & Somatic experiencing combined, brings the client into her somatic story with gentle & consistent support. With creative & effective resources, the client can stay present in order to titrate and process the painful story.
She is living with more capacity to stay present in her life.
I was so grateful to be apart of the process and have used the tools and skills to help the client maintain her success in our subsequent sessions. I look forward to continuing to collaborate with Marcys creativity and compassion.”
