Trauma Survivor, Social Worker

I have been working with Dr. T. (my name for her) for a couple of years. I find her engaging, intelligent, caring, supportive, understanding, encouraging and with a great sense of humor (something I didn't expect from a therapist!) Dr. T. is interested in all facets of my life. Dr. T. is responsive to my emails and has been available in an emergency. Her scope of knowledge is just amazing and her experience is incredible. One thing I was looking for in particular was a therapist with healthy boundaries and I have found it in her. Dr. T. can be tough despite her size. I pushed once and found out first hand that she can address a problem directly, which increased my respect for her. Together we accomplished many goals, some I didn’t even plan to accomplish. I can testify to the fact that I have never brought up a topic she hasn't heard about before. Nothing fazes her. I must have put Dr. T. through every test I could think of and she passed them all. She doesn't give up on her patients. She is there when things are going well and when they are really rough. I would give up on myself long before she would ever give up on me. Dr. T. has been able to help me discuss topics I never thought possible. Another thing I like about Dr. T. is she fills in for my silence. Sometimes I just don't know how to get started or don t' want to talk. I can also be defiant. A lot of therapist I have seen in the past just remained as silent as I and that only made me more defiant, thus nothing was accomplished. I have been making great progress with Dr. T. and she has helped me a lot. I have walked out on other therapists but not on Dr. T.

I’ve been to many talks on trauma related conditions, Dr. Pokrajac’s has been the most helpful and most engaging to date. She has a way of bringing the material alive and I came away with many new tools to bring back to my agency.

Truly a gifted speaker. Stimulating and informative! I attended her presentation just for the CEU’s, so I didn’t expect much. I was pleasantly surprised to walk away with so many useful tools.

Trauma Survivor, Psychology Doctorate Student

When I walked in for my first session with Teri, I was very skeptical. And desperate. I had been working – long-term – with a therapist who turned out to be quite unethical and harmful. I left that relationship in worse shape than when I started, and knew it would be difficult to trust another psychologist. However, Teri was very patient with me, and not only she been trustworthy and ethical, but also consistent, caring, and exceptionally skilled. She asks for frequent feedback about what is working for me and what is not, and she is non-defensive and genuinely interested in what I have to say. Plus, she has never let me down after several years of intensive treatment. Teri saved my life in so many ways, and though she would modestly (and sincerely) say that I am the one who did all the hard work, no other therapist has been able to show me what to do, and how to do it so that I could recover from my complex set of issues. If you are looking for an exceptional psychologist who is truly capable, empathic, intelligent, and reliable, you can stop your search right here – you have found her.
