Autism
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.

Sacramento is the state capital with a large government and public sector workforce, and therapists here frequently address the particular stresses of public service careers, bureaucratic work environments, and the emotional toll of policy work. The city's location in the Central Valley means it serves diverse communities including large Latino, Southeast Asian, and Hmong populations, with demand for culturally competent and multilingual therapists well established. UC Davis Health provides major institutional mental health resources, with a growing private practice community serving Midtown, East Sacramento, Land Park, and the surrounding suburbs. Sacramento's lower cost of living relative to the Bay Area has attracted many therapists from the region, expanding the range of available care.
