How I Work

“You are not a problem to be solved. You are a soul to be met.”

My work weaves relational depth with transpersonal insight, grounded presence with intuitive knowing. I meet you where you are, integrating a variety of modalities to support your full self: emotional, spiritual, physical, and energetic.

MODALITIES

Below, you’ll find an overview of my core approach. If you’d like to learn more about specific modalities, you can explore:

My Approach to Therapy

Relational Therapy: The Heart of Healing

At the core of my therapeutic practice lies Relational Therapy, a modality I prioritize because of the profound belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is the most crucial component of the healing process. This approach ensures that our connection—the "vibe" we create together—forms a foundation of safety, trust, and mutual respect, allowing for deep, transformative work to occur.

  • Safety and Witnessing: In our sessions, creating a safe space for you to be authentically yourself is paramount. It's in this environment that true healing begins—through being seen, heard, and genuinely witnessed.

  • Collaborative Exploration: Together, we embark on a journey of exploration and discovery, where your experiences, feelings, and stories are validated and understood.

  • Personal Narrative and Mythology: My role as a therapist is to create a safe, accepting space where you feel seen and understood. Together, we work to rewrite your narrative and personal mythology. Your story is so important, and I will meet you where you are. I welcome all your weird, wacky, unmasked, and unexplored parts. My approach is warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental.

Holistic and Eclectic Modalities

Building on the relational foundation, my approach incorporates a wide range of therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique path toward healing and self-discovery:

  • Psychodynamic Therapy: Delving into early childhood experiences to understand subconscious patterns.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS): Working with your inner child, protector parts, and exiled parts to foster connection with the loving, wise Self.

  • Jungian Psychology: Engaging dreams, archetypes, and active imagination to bring light to the shadow.

  • Somatic Practices: Using the body’s wisdom to process emotions and regulate the nervous system.

  • Attachment Theory: Exploring early relationship dynamics to support secure, authentic connection.

  • Depth Therapy: Diving deep into the emotional world for profound psychological growth.

Spiritual Therapy: A Boundless Exploration

Spiritual Therapy embraces the limitless possibilities of what spirituality means to you. This might include traditional religious beliefs, spiritual awakenings, non-ordinary states of consciousness, psychedelic integration, or connections with spirit guides and ancestors. You are invited to explore the spiritual dimensions of your life in a grounded, respectful, and spacious way.

Embracing the Authentic Self

A significant goal of our work is guiding you back to your authentic self. This journey includes:

  • Uncovering and Integrating the Shadow: Embracing hidden parts to foster wholeness.

  • Transpersonal Exploration: Bridging spiritual and psychological healing.

  • Celebrating Neurodiversity: Using a neuroaffirming lens to honor your unique perception of the world.

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”

-  Peter Levine

Grief and Transformation: Healing Across Generations

Grief is a portal, a sacred threshold. Together, we explore grief as more than pain—it's a source of transformation:

  • Breaking Generational Cycles

  • Releasing Unattached Burdens

  • Acknowledging Unmetabolized Grief

  • Honoring Childhood and Compounded Grief

Integrating Energy Work and Astrology

These tools are not side practices—they are woven into the healing process:

  • Energy Management: Techniques for clearing and protection.

  • Astrological Insight: Soul mapping through birth charts, archetypes, and karmic blueprints.

  • Parts Work + Archetypes: Using the chart for integration and clarity.

  • Energetic Clearing: Addressing trauma and inherited imprints.

A Commitment to Comprehensive Healing

My work is rooted in a decolonial, holistic, and transpersonal framework:

  • Challenging Western Pathologization

  • Embodying Sacred Reciprocity

  • Working with Ritual, Nature, and Spirit Guides

  • Dismantling Internalized Oppression

  • Offering Slowness and Spaciousness for Integration

This is not quick-fix therapy. This is soul work, community healing, and a long remembering of who you are—beneath the survival patterns and cultural noise.

Hi, I’m Stephanie Brumfield

Hi, I’m Stephanie Brumfield, a holistic spiritual therapist, certified astrologer, and eternal seeker. Deeply attuned to the subtle and sensitive aspects of life, I specialize in creating a compassionate space for individuals who feel misunderstood or out of place due to their neurodivergence, beliefs, or values. My work focuses on helping clients navigate familial disconnect, societal expectations, and spiritual awakenings, guiding them on a journey from black sheep to holy outsider.

As someone who is neurodivergent (AuDHDer), I value soulful, meaningful connections and draw inspiration from the wisdom of nature, especially trees. With a deep passion for ancestral work, mythology, astrology, trauma healing, and dreams, I integrate these elements into a practice that honors the cyclical nature of death, rebirth, and transformation - a reflection of my Scorpio Moon. Whether I’m researching, reading, or listening to 90s grunge, my approach to healing is grounded in energy medicine, spirituality, and the belief that personal healing can ripple outward to transform the collective.
