Dr. Stefani LaFrenierre, MD
Founder & Chief Medical Officer
Dr. Stefani LaFrenierre, MD is the Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine in Newport Beach, California. A licensed Medical Doctor who is Double Board-Certified in Adult Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine, Dr. LaFrenierre brings over 20 years of clinical experience to her integrative psychiatry practice serving the Orange County and Newport Beach communities. Dr. LaFrenierre's educational background includes medical school training followed by specialized residencies and certifications in both Adult Psychiatry and Addiction Medicine. This dual certification reflects her understanding that mental health conditions rarely exist in isolation — addiction, trauma, and mood disorders frequently co-occur, and effective treatment must address the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. At Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine, Dr. LaFrenierre leads a practice committed to providing the highest level of evidence-based mental health treatments. The clinic specializes in integrative mental health and wellness, offering advanced psychiatry, functional medicine, and personalized treatments including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), IV therapy, and weight loss medicine. This comprehensive, whole-person approach distinguishes her practice from conventional psychiatry. Dr. LaFrenierre is particularly known for her work with TMS — a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive brain regions associated with mood regulation. For patients who have not found adequate relief through medication alone, TMS offers a scientifically validated alternative with minimal side effects. Her philosophy at Resiliency Mind+Body Medicine combines the rigor of Western medicine with the holistic perspective of functional medicine — recognizing that nutrition, lifestyle, stress, and social factors all contribute to mental health outcomes. This integrative framework allows her to design truly personalized treatment plans that address root causes rather than just symptoms. Dr. LaFrenierre has been featured in SDVoyager's "Local Stories" series and maintains active engagement with the Orange County mental health community. She is widely regarded as a compassionate, innovative provider who goes beyond standard psychiatric care to help patients achieve lasting wellness.
