Women's Issues
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In the intimate journey of healing and self-discovery, my practice stands as a sanctuary for women confronting the multifaceted dimensions of the mother wound and its profound impact on their sense of self and relational dynamics. This nuanced approach extends beyond the immediate challenges of motherhood, delving deep into the legacy of maternal relationships that shape our experiences as women—from feelings of inadequacy and unresolved anger to the profound yearning for a nurturing connection that was absent.
Acknowledging the intricate ways in which the mother wound intertwines with the stages of womanhood, I provide a compassionate, supportive space for women at all points of their life journey. Whether grappling with the emotional aftermath of reproductive choices, such as abortions or pregnancy terminations, navigating the complexities of becoming a mother, or seeking to heal from painful childhoods and ancestral traumas, my practice is dedicated to fostering healing, empowerment, and self-reclamation.
Central to this work is the exploration of the mother wound, aiming to break the cycles of pain and misunderstanding that bind us. Through this lens, we address not just the personal narratives of hurt and longing but also the broader societal expectations and stigmas that influence our self-perception and relationships. My goal is to guide women through this deeply transformative process, offering insights and therapeutic interventions that illuminate the path to healing, self-acceptance, and the ability to form healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
This holistic, empathetic approach is designed to support women in reclaiming their power, voice, and worth, enabling them to move forward with a renewed sense of wholeness and authenticity. Here, in a space where the unspoken and unseen are brought to light, the journey toward healing the mother wound becomes a pivotal step in embracing a liberated, empowered sense of self.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Support for women navigating identity, burnout, caregiving, relationships, life transitions, body changes, reproductive experiences, chronic illness, disability, leadership, self-worth, and the visible and invisible expectations placed upon women across personal, professional, societal, vocational, educational, relational, cultural, and family systems.
This work recognizes that women's experiences do not occur in isolation. They are shaped by the intersections of gender, race, culture, neurodivergence, disability, sexuality, spirituality, socioeconomic realities, family roles, community, and lived experience. Particular attention is given to the ways societal expectations, caregiving demands, perfectionism, people-pleasing, masking, emotional labor, and internalized messages about worth, productivity, appearance, sacrifice, and success can influence wellbeing, identity, relationships, and connection with self.
Exploration may include the impact of hormones and hormonal transitions across the lifespan, including menstruation, PMDD, pregnancy, postpartum experiences, perimenopause, menopause, fertility challenges, reproductive decision-making, and the often-overlooked ways hormones can interact with neurodivergence, sensory experiences, executive functioning, emotional regulation, energy capacity, and nervous system functioning.
My approach integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, mindfulness, polyvagal-informed practices, parts work, neuropsychotherapy, expressive arts, attachment-focused approaches, and liberation-oriented healing. Rather than focusing on helping you adapt to unrealistic expectations, this work invites curiosity about which expectations genuinely align with your values and which may no longer serve you. Attention is given to both the external systems and internalized narratives that shape how you relate to yourself, your body, your needs, your ambitions, and your place in the world.
Therapy offers space to reconnect with your voice, honor your needs, deepen self-trust, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself. The goal is not simply to function better within systems that may contribute to exhaustion or disconnection, but to create a life that feels more sustainable, authentic, embodied, and aligned with your values, capacity, relationships, and wellbeing.

Laura Anderson LPCC, Eff Shame Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Being a woman carries its own particular weight. The ways you've been diminished, dismissed, sexualized, expected to shrink or perform or endure. The harm that comes not just from individual people but from systems, cultures, and messages absorbed so early they feel like your own thoughts.
I work with women from a trauma-informed, feminist, shame-free perspective — addressing the ways gender-based harm, systemic oppression, and the relentless pressure to be everything for everyone shows up in your nervous system, your relationships, and your sense of self. I use EMDR, Flash Technique, and approaches that treat the root rather than just the symptoms.
You are not too much. You have just been carrying too much.

Stephanie Morfitt, LCSW More Fit Mental Health
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When You’re Carrying Too Much
As women, we often move through life balancing everything — work, relationships, caregiving, identity, and the invisible pressure to handle it all with grace. You may be outwardly capable and composed while inside you feel depleted, resentful, or unsure who you are beneath all the roles you play. Maybe you’re constantly taking care of everyone else, striving to meet impossible standards, or feeling guilt no matter what you do. Perhaps you’ve lost touch with your sense of joy, rest, or voice — the parts of you that feel most alive.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you reconnect with yourself and create a life that feels grounded, balanced, and authentic. You’ll learn how to:
Identify and challenge beliefs that keep you stuck in guilt or perfectionism
Strengthen your boundaries and rediscover your own needs and values
Reduce anxiety and overwhelm through neuroscience-based tools
Rebuild confidence and self-trust in relationships and decision-making
Experience calm, freedom, and clarity in place of pressure and self-doubt
This work is not about “fixing” you — it’s about helping you feel at home in your own life, with space for both ambition and rest, care and boundaries, strength and softness.
I BELIEVE:
You can be nurturing without losing yourself.
You don’t have to earn rest or worthiness — they’re already yours.
Setting boundaries is an act of love, not rejection.
Growth doesn’t mean becoming someone else; it means coming home to yourself.
Women heal best in spaces that honor their complexity, courage, and truth.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
I work with high functioning professional women who perform in multiple roles at work and at home, face corporate misogyny or age bias towards women, shoulder a large part of the parenting, relationship, household, social and financial responsibilities and feel pressure to hold everything together. Women are often pushed to meet impossible expectations, and are looked down upon for showing signs of strain. Therapy can support you in establishing boundaries, taking criticism less personally, and maintaining your own calmness, self-care and sense of self-worth, regardless of the pressure you're under. I combine insightful, caring depth work with effective evidence based techniques that build resilience under pressure, free you from self-sabotaging reactivity, and help you to keep access to your calm, best-self.
