Come home to the fullness of your humanity
In the search for a therapist, you might find yourself seeking not just understanding, but a deeper connection to your inner world. If you’re feeling the whispers of dis-ease, anxiety, fear, or a sense that something is fundamentally off—know that these can be signals from your soul, calling you to remember, awaken, and heal. I’m here to navigate this journey with you. I’m Stephanie Brumfield, and I specialize in soulful and centered psychotherapy, which at its heart, is soul care.
Our world is experiencing a mass awakening, where the call to heal ancestral burdens, navigate painful childhoods, and break cycles of dysfunction is louder than ever. This work is not just about healing; it’s about awakening to your true potential. My practice is a sanctuary for those ready to explore their authentic self and embody more of their light. This journey often involves navigating through grief, which I see not as an obstacle but as a gateway to profound self-discovery and connection.
I resonate deeply with individuals undergoing significant life transitions and personal awakenings, especially those who are highly sensitive, neurodivergent, or feel out of step with conventional paths. My approach is eclectic and deeply soulful, drawing from a rich tapestry of therapeutic orientations including psychodynamic, humanistic, developmental, attachment-based, Jungian, shamanic, transpersonal, existential, somatic, and relational frameworks. I incorporate elements such as archetypes, astrology (I’m a practicing astrologer and love to use this sacred roadmap), energy medicine, metaphor, and mythology into our sessions, tailoring each encounter to meet you where you are.
Psychotherapy, in my practice, transcends traditional clinical approaches. It’s a magical, deeply spiritual journey toward self-discovery and reclamation. Whether you’re grappling with unnamed grief inherited from your family and ancestors or seeking to navigate your healing journey as a cycle breaker and wounded healer, I offer a compassionate, safe space for exploration and transformation.
Together, we will co-create a therapeutic space that honors your unique story and journey. I invite you to bring all your weird, wacky, unmasked, and unexplored parts to our sessions. Your narrative and personal mythology are vital, and rewriting them is a powerful process of self-reclamation and healing. My role is to ensure you feel seen, understood, and supported as we delve into the depth of your soul’s call for care.
As we embark on this path together, know that you’re not alone. The work we do is challenging, but it’s also filled with moments of profound insight and liberation. Your soul’s journey towards healing is a sacred one, and I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way. Let’s uncover the light within you, healing not just yourself, but contributing to the healing of our collective humanity.
