Counseling & Psychotherapy Services in Newport Beach
Welcome to Yulia Stepanova Psychotherapy, where healing and personal growth are at the heart of everything we do. With a Master of Science in Clinical Psychology from California State University, Fullerton, and extensive clinical training at institutions like College Hospital and private practices, I bring over a decade of expertise to my practice. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and psychodynamic modalities, tailored to address anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, and chronic health conditions. I specialize in creating a safe, non-judgmental space for adults, couples, and families to explore their challenges and develop resilience. My background includes work with non-profits, domestic violence survivors, and interdisciplinary teams, enriching my understanding of complex human experiences.I prioritize client autonomy, combining psychological science with insights from neurobiology to empower individuals to navigate life's difficulties independently. My practice extends beyond traditional therapy, incorporating creative metaphors drawn from history, mythology, and art to deepen therapeutic engagement. Whether addressing relationship dynamics, life transitions, or existential concerns, my goal is to equip clients with tools for lasting emotional well-being. I am committed to ethical, transparent care, ensuring each session fosters growth and self-discovery. My Newport Beach practice offers both in-person and virtual sessions, serving clients across the U.S. and internationally.
