I enjoy working with autistic clients to provide a neurodivergent-affirming treatment. I love working with autistic clients interested in working on: unmasking, autistic burnout, shame-free daily routines, supporting emotional regulation needs, building connection/community, life balance, etc.

TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
My practice will diagnose and treat the 5 variations of autism including Asperger's Syndrome, Rett Syndrome, Childhood Disintegrative Disorder, Kanner's Syndrome, and Pervasive Developmental Disorder. I believe these problems are primarily a result of problems in the brain. The brain is not working normally, and hence neither is the mind. My treatment involves mind/brain approaches. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In my therapeutic approach, autism is embraced as a profound spiritual journey towards awakening to one's authentic self and the process of unmasking. This perspective honors the unique way autistic individuals experience the world, focusing on the deep self-discovery that comes from navigating life with an innate depth of feeling, heightened sensitivity, and a distinct way of processing experiences. By viewing autism through this lens, we celebrate the strengths, creativity, and insights that being autistic brings, shifting away from pathologizing to understanding autism as an integral part of one's identity and spiritual path.
The core of our work together is to empower autistic individuals to live authentically, leveraging their unique gifts to lead a life of fulfillment and connection. This journey involves developing strategies to manage sensory sensitivities, enhance communication, and foster meaningful relationships, all while reducing feelings of overwhelm and self-criticism. Central to this process is the unmasking of one’s true identity, shedding societal expectations and labels to reveal the authentic self beneath.
Seeing autism as a spiritual journey of awakening and unmasking allows us to support individuals in embracing their neurodiversity as a source of healing, strength, and profound personal growth. Together, we explore the richness of the autistic experience, fostering a deep sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and joy in the journey towards self-discovery and spiritual fulfillment. This approach not only affirms the value and beauty of the autistic way of being but also highlights the importance of celebrating each individual's journey towards embracing their authentic self.
