About

A little about Brian Poling.

Hey there! My name is Brian Poling, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor at Ally Psychological Services. Over the past 8 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 and help you.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as other evidence-based practices. I have experience working with people of all ages in individual, family, couples, and group settings. So whether this is for you, your child, or you and your partner, I am here to help. I enjoy a very active approach to therapy with an emphasis on mindfulness and skill development. No matter who I am helping, I bring a lot of optimism, openness, and understanding, and believe 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.

Fun Facts

When I am not working, I enjoy staying active by lifting weights, going to MMA classes, running, and playing with my dog Bella, my wife, and my daughter.

  • Despite being 6'2, I am the shortest of all the men in my family
  • I am a huge fan of comic books and superheroes
