I provide a safe space for clients to process whatever emotions or responses they may be experiencing. I have over 3,500 hours of experience doing therapy with various types of clients. I recently graduated from an MFT program and have enjoyed interacting with a new set of clients. I am particularly interested in working with clients who have had trauma, abuse, or difficulty with life transitions. I make myself available to give clients the ability to process their lives in a new way. If you believe I could be a good fit for you as your therapist, please get in touch with me.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
You’ve spent years being the capable one, and you’re still running into the same patterns in your relationships, your work, and the ways you get in your own way. Maybe you’ve done therapy before and it only went so far, or this is your first time and you just know you need to go deeper.
I’m a depth psychotherapist and astrotherapist, and I use astrology with every client as one of the ways we understand what you’re carrying. I work with high achievers, entrepreneurs, creatives, healers and therapists, and people moving through big life transitions or spiritual awakenings. Most of the people I work with are neurodivergent or highly sensitive, and many are cycle breakers healing what came down their family line.
My work is relational and goes to the root. It includes shadow work, IFS-informed parts work, ancestral healing, and ritual. I’m an initiated Dagara diviner, and my spirituality is grounded. I don’t use it to bypass the human parts of healing.
I offer therapy intensives in person in Sacramento, open to anyone from anywhere, and online in California and Texas, along with limited weekly online therapy.

Navigating life’s complexities or relationship strain can often feel overwhelming. We all carry experiences from our past that shape how we relate to ourselves and others today. My goal in therapy is to help you gain deeper self-awareness, break free from self-defeating patterns, and build meaningful, supportive relationships. Together, we will create a safe, confidential environment to foster deep emotional healing and personal growth.

Stella Zweben Samuel, LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I have worked as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years. During those years, I have worked with adolescents and young adults in a variety of settings – hospitals, day treatment facilities, universities, schools, and private practice. My first job out of social work school was at Bellevue Medical Center in New York City with adolescents. The adolescents with whom I worked at Bellevue gave me an education in humor, creativity, and strength. I obtained counseling positions at both UCLA and USC working with students on their academic challenges and the stress that impacts their success. It is fair to say that I have learned how to listen to adolescents, understand how to connect with them, and help them to gain confidence and the strategies to improve themselves and their situation. But I have also grasped the stress of parents have when raising adolescents and provided support, understanding, and tools to manage this important role. I’ve been training my whole life for this. I grew up with a mother who taught children with learning disabilities and a father who always gave back to the community recognizing those less fortunate. I learned early through volunteering at my mother’s school, volunteering at mental health helplines, supporting friends throughout high school, becoming a mom, and throughout my work in social work that providing another person with a patient and listening ear could provide support and understanding. It could be said that all that I have experienced, shared, and studied so far has been training me for the role I cherish that of psychotherapist.
