More about Stephanie

Compassionate Support for Healing and Recovery

I’m Stephanie Parker, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist at Recover Newport Beach, specializing in eating disorder therapy and trauma recovery. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space where healing can flourish.

Personal Journey Inspires Professional Passion

My own therapeutic journey has profoundly shaped my understanding of the healing process. This personal experience underscores the importance of a supportive environment, and I strive to offer genuine care and empathy to each client.

Specialized Training and Therapeutic Approaches

I have advanced training in several evidence-based modalities, including:

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Facilitates the processing of traumatic memories to promote healing.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Assists in developing skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Addresses and reframes unhelpful beliefs related to trauma.

These approaches enable me to tailor therapy to each individual’s needs, promoting effective and personalized healing.

Areas of Focus

  • Eating Disorder Recovery: Supporting clients in developing a healthy relationship with food and body image.

  • Trauma Healing: Assisting individuals in processing and recovering from past traumatic experiences.

  • Anxiety and Depression Management: Providing tools to navigate and alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression.

  • Family and Relationship Dynamics: Helping clients improve communication and build healthier relationships.

Begin Your Journey Toward Healing

Embarking on the path to recovery is a courageous step. If you’re seeking compassionate and specialized support, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we can work toward achieving your personal goals and fostering lasting well-being.

"Healing begins with a compassionate space where your story is honored. At Recover Newport Beach, I'm here to support women, adolescent girls, and families navigating eating disorders and trauma, integrating EMDR and trauma-informed care to guide you toward recovery."
