Brian Poling, Licensed Professional Counselor

Hey there! My name is Brian Poling, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Ally Psychological Services. Over the past 6 years I have worked a number of different roles in schools, summer camps, homes, and outpatient settings. I am thrilled to be able to bring my diverse background to Ally Psych.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) as well as other evidence based practices. I have experiences working with people of all ages in individual, family, couples, and group settings. I enjoy a very active approach to therapy with emphasis on mindfulness and skill development. I bring a very open and understanding approach with strong optimism and the belief that no one is beyond help. A favorite quote of mine is “Happiness is the only thing that multiplies when you share it.” By Philosopher Albert Schweitzer. I find this quote inspiring, as it reminds me that there is positivity and happiness all around us if you are looking to find it.

When I am not working, I enjoy staying active by lifting weights, running, and playing with my dog Bella.

A Little About Me

When I am not working, I enjoy staying active by lifting weights, running, and playing with my dog Bella. When I am around the house I always enjoy trying new things to challenge myself and keep busy. I can often be found reading, cooking, wood working, or playing the piano.

A Few Fun Facts

Education and Training

I first attended West Chester University where I received a Bachelor’s of the Arts in Psychology. After receiving my BA I worked in different roles focused on children and teens with emotional support challenges and ASD. I attended the Graduate program at Immaculata University where I graduated with a Master of the Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. While at Immaculata, I interned at Saint Gabriel’s Hall Juvenile Detention Center and at the Elwyn Davidson School. After receiving my MA I stayed on with Elwyn as a group therapist before making the change to Fellowship Health Resources. At Fellowship I received supervision for my license while working as a mobile therapist in a community mental health setting. I have learned from every experience and person I have met along the way, and I am excited to bring these experiences with me to Ally Psych.

Let's Connect!

When we speak on the phone, we want to take the time to answer any questions you have about therapy with us. During our initial chat, we will go over policies and fees for the type and length of the sessions that fit you best.

We want you to make the most informed decision about your therapy journey.

Remember…

We invest our time, money, and energy into so many things each week: salon visits, gym memberships, personal training, dining out, and new stuff. Most people invest on visible and tangible things but neglect essentials they (and others) can’t see.

Ask yourself – are you doing everything you should be for your mental health?
