Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
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.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Women's Issues: Women, through all the stages of their lives, have issues that are specific to their gender. We have hormonal challenges that can affect us in many different ways. In a male-dominated culture, we can often feel different and sometimes alone. Women need to be in a respected space where they feel safe exploring the ways they feel their gender has affected them.

I identify strongly as a feminist therapist, and I believe that gender roles influence socialization; ultimately, our lives. I have an undergraduate degree in Women Studies and believe that gender identity development may impact a variety of issues that female-identified clients experience, like interpersonal relationships, career, aging, sexuality.

Like many women, you may be struggling with negative thoughts and difficult emotions about your body and self-worth. There issues typically surface at times of stress or transitional periods such as puberty, getting marries, menopause, and illnesses. Your struggles with body image and self-worth are not your fault. You learned and internalized messages about what your body should look like from society and those around you. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and other evidence-based approaches I can help you critically examine and shift your thoughts and beliefs about your body and worth.
