Bella Bellitto is a Licensed Psychological Associate (LPA) and Nationally Certified School Psychologist (NCSP) with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and a School Psychologist Master's and Specialist degree from Winthrop University.
With foundational training as an Orton-Gillingham practitioner prior to entering the field of school psychology, Bella brings a distinctive and well-rounded perspective to her clinical work — one rooted in a deep passion for literacy and a commitment to understanding how children learn. She has completed over 2,000 supervised hours within the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) district, where she developed extensive experience navigating the MTSS, IEP, and 504 processes within the public school setting.
Bella specializes in comprehensive psychoeducational assessment, with experience evaluating children across a wide range of presentations including ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and giftedness. She is trained and certified in PREPaRE crisis intervention and is well-versed in providing mental health support, social-emotional learning, and consultation and collaboration with educators, families, and multidisciplinary teams. Bella approaches each evaluation with a strength-based lens, ensuring that every child's unique profile is understood holistically rather than defined solely by their challenges.
In addition to assessment, Bella provides individual therapy with a particular interest in supporting children who experience anxiety and executive functioning difficulties. She is committed to neurodivergent-affirming practice, creating a space where all students feel seen, valued, and empowered. Bella believes that when children are understood and supported in the right ways, they are capable of remarkable growth — and she is dedicated to being a meaningful part of that journey.
