Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Being a woman in America in 2024 is not easy. A mentor of mine once said that she did not envy my experience as a woman today. She grew up in a different time, a time when she was expected to be a good mother for her children and a responsible homemaker for her husband. Today, beyond these roles, there is a subtle, quiet undercurrent of expectations including, but by no means limited to, being a “good” wife, sister, friend, and neighbor (what does “good” mean anyway?), a career woman, an impromptu party host with a meticulous home (cook, housekeeper, etc.), and a selfless volunteer in the community, all while maintaining a size 2 figure. How can we possibly manage all this and more? Together we can explore the expectations you have of yourself as well as your place in today's world.

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.

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.
