Getting to know Anastasia Polar

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adolescents, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, life transitions, stress, and other emotional challenges. I’m passionate about helping clients better understand themselves, build resilience, and develop healthy coping skills that support long-term emotional well-being.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I believe each person brings unique strengths and experiences to the therapeutic process, and I tailor my work to meet each client’s individual needs and goals. Drawing from evidence-based practices, I help clients gain insight, strengthen emotional regulation, and navigate challenges with greater confidence. I’m committed to creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. My goal is to help individuals build the skills and self-awareness needed to create meaningful change, improve relationships, and move toward a greater sense of balance and well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When you are ready to get started, schedule an initial assessment visit (intake) through Zocdoc. After you book an appointment, a care coordinator will reach out to review your method of payment and/or insurance number and answer any initial questions you may have before our first visit.
