Stephen Sbanotto

Clincal Director Acqua Colorado, MS, LPC, CSAT-S, CMAT, RAE, RACS

Stephen believes that addiction and mental health issues are better viewed as parts of ourselves and not the full, true self. These parts have been trying to help us (though not always in the most productive or healthy ways), often just to survive. Through this lens, Stephen offers a curious, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach in helping individuals become their best selves and live a life of purpose, fulfillment, and immense joy!
