Stephanie Estrada-Novelich, LMFT

Hi, I’m Stephanie, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at Innerpeace Therapy; a private practice in Upland, California. I am currently accepting new adult clients (CA only) for virtual appointments on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 5pm-8pm!

Over the last seven years I have worked in community based services, residential services and private practice providing care to survivors of domestic violence, refugee children and families, survivors of complex trauma and first generation experiences of all ages in their most vulnerable time of need through implementing a trauma informed cognitive behavioral approach to treatment.

With this approach, I will meet you where you are with the understanding that your lived intersectional experiences have shaped how you navigate your present day. In session I work with you to develop goals and a treatment plan individualized for your current needs. Over the course of treatment through meeting once a week, we work toward your goals through skill building, challenging and reframing thoughts and self reflecting. As you meet your goals, we slowly decrease services toward termination so that you can maintain progress on your own reinforcing learned skills, reframing thoughts and new perspectives for the journey ahead.

Whether this is your first time seeking support or a follow up for new growth, know that  your experiences have brought you here to challenge and let go of what no longer serves you.

Outside of direct care, I work toward providing trauma informed care to underserved communities through serving as Clinical Director at Innerpeace, mentoring undergraduate psychology students interested in helping professions, and contributing to mental health education as a freelance writer.   

In my free time, I engage in self care through attending fitness studio classes, caring for my house plants, reading suspense thrillers, trying new restaurants and traveling with my family.
