About Dr. David Pollin

I am a Maryland licensed clinical psychologist with over 35 years of experience. After graduate work at Catholic University, I earned my doctorate from Duke University. I completed my clinical internship from Walter Reed Army Medical Center. I have been privileged to serve the needs of adult clients in Army clinics, in private practice, and in a career with the V.A. Medical Center in Baltimore.

My practice has focused on recovery from trauma, life stressors, and the consequence of disaffirming personal relationships. Distinct areas of treatment include cognitive therapy, positive psychology, and life coaching. I offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as a rapid and effective treatment modality for a broad spectrum of problems, issues, and goals. I value therapy and counseling as a collaborative process, driven by clients’ unique pathways towards their towards their cherished goals. In our sessions, we focus on choice, acceptance, and the discovery and, sometimes recovery, of strengths and joys

About Dr. Helen Chemtob, PhD

Dr. Helen J. Chemtob, PhD is a licensed clinical psychologist who earned her masters and doctorate degrees from the Catholic University of America (an APA-accredited graduate program in Clinical Psychology) in Washington, D .C. She has been providing outpatient psychotherapy to individuals, couples, families and groups for over 25 years. Dr. Chemtob has been listed in the National Register of Health Service Providers in Psychology since 1995. Throughout her career as a psychologist, Dr. Chemtob has worked in community mental health clinics, schools, hospitals and private practice. She has now joined our team at Bluegrass Mental Health.

*Work with children, teens and adults coping with chronic and/or serious medical conditions
*Psychological and Vocational Assessment
*Goal-Supporters® Groups for Teens and Adults (®Registered Trademark, Helen Chemtob, 2012)

Dr. Chemtob on her approach: My therapy approach involves helping clients to identify goals for becoming healthier, happier, more productive and more supportive in their lives. I then guide them in developing plans of action for reaching their goals, in locating resources that can help them reach their goals, and in tracking the progress they are making in reaching their goals over time. I also make a number of clinical tools available to my clients to help them with their work in and outside of the therapy session. I believe that going through the process of therapy has many benefits. These benefits include learning how to reduce stress and “distress” in our lives, as well as learning ways to resolve conflicts in our relationships. I also believe that a strong, positive relationship between therapist and client provides the best environment for getting the most out of the therapy process.

Dr. Chemtob currently accepts the following insurance plans: Carefirst of Maryland (Bluecross/Blueshield, Bluechoice, etc), , Cigna and Aetna.
