About

Licensed psychologist at 8950 Villa La Jolla Dr, Suite C230, La Jolla, CA 92037, delivering therapy within the LifeStance Health group practice that fills Suite C230 with a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, PMHNPs, psychologists, and licensed therapists. Rachael Polokoff provides psychotherapy through both in-person and telehealth appointments, treating conditions including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and substance use concerns. The LifeStance model pairs psychologists like Polokoff with in-house prescribers, so patients needing medication alongside talk therapy stay within one billing and scheduling system — a coordination advantage over practices where therapy and psychiatry operate as separate businesses. Patients who instead prefer a diagnostics-first approach start with a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation at Brain Spectrum Neuropsychology on Prospect St before beginning therapy, ensuring treatment targets the right underlying condition.
