At A Place to Turn, we are honored to welcome Stephanie Narvaez, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, to our Pasadena clinical team. Stephanie brings a deeply compassionate, culturally rooted, and trauma-informed approach to healing, grounded in the belief that every person is inherently whole—not broken or in need of fixing.
Stephanie is passionate about supporting individuals, adolescents, and families as they navigate the lasting impact of trauma, life transitions, and emotional challenges. With extensive experience working with at-risk youth in foster care, she offers a unique lens on resilience, human connection, and the transformative power of safe, attuned relationships.
Her therapeutic style integrates Eastern, Indigenous, and Western practices, creating a warm, inclusive, and nurturing space where experiences are honored, voices are valued, and healing unfolds at a natural pace. Stephanie is dedicated to honoring culture, identity, and the sacredness of each client’s lived experience.
Whether you’re facing unresolved trauma, seeking personal growth, or longing for deeper connection, Stephanie walks beside you with humility, insight, and unwavering support.
