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.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
In our current patriarchal society, there are very few models for how to be a strong, feminine woman. With a lack of obvious models and archetypes to draw from, women often either take on the masculine hero's journey as their own or feel disempowered and weak. By drawing upon myths and archetypes, we can explore the heroine's journey of feminine power and apply it to the lived realities of life in areas such as motherhood, career, relationships, marriage, boundaries, and purpose.

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.
