About me

Are you looking to begin treatment and are motivated to create change within your life? Beginning counseling can be difficult for many and I strive to provide a unique experience for all clients to help decrease the stigma around mental health.

Life can offer a variety of challenges and through its ups and downs I look to help each individual and couple gain insight into their own lives while working together to create a toolbox of coping strategies.

I aim to meet individual needs to establish realistic and obtainable goals during treatment to help navigate through life. I hope to help each person feel less alone and more able to take on any challenge to create lifelong positive changes. "Another day. Just believe. Just breathe."

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Stephanie Polito. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

She's really friendly, understands my concerns and gives me good advice. She'll listen to me and then will be patient throughout the session.

Stephanie is incredible. It’s lovely to have someone take the time and care to understand you as a person and not just echo hollow answers to your concerns.
