Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine
If you run a California business and mental health isn’t on your radar—you're missing the signal your team (and you) have been quietly sending.
In a world of therapist directories and 6-week waits, Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine is doing something radically different. Founded by Dr. Stefani LaFrenierre, a double board-certified psychiatrist, this isn’t another wellness clinic. It’s insurance-covered, physician-led, and focused on treating the whole person—mind, body, and biology.
With clinics in Newport Beach and San Juan Capistrano, Resiliency is:
Delivering Deep TMS therapy for treatment-resistant depression (FDA-cleared and non-invasive)
Offering ketamine-assisted treatment, backed by research and administered with clinical supervision
Integrating nutrition, lab testing, and lifestyle psychiatry into every patient plan
Covered by major insurers—including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Shield, United, and more
For founders, executives, and high-performance teams, burnout often hides behind productivity. If you're pushing through instead of processing—this is your sign to stop.
