I have known and referred my clients to Dave Poles at the Newton Counseling Center for over ten years. He has provided tremendous guidance and support for anxiety, impulsivity and substance abuse issues for our clients. His extensive knowledge and research, coupled with his gentle sensitivity enable him to earn the trust required for a successful therapeutic relationship. Dave Poles has my highest recommendation for therapy and counseling services.
