Alison Alderdice, The Wise Mind Institute
Psychologist, PsyD
Since starting graduate school, I have specialized in working with girls and women. I am deeply passionate about the unique stressors that women tend to face and the ways that unfair, inaccurate, and unreasonable social norms can masquerade as personal shortcomings, stressors, and vulnerabilities. My approach with women is to understand the intersection between an individual's biology/genetic inheritance, family upbringing, personal history, and social influences to deepen self-understanding, compassion, and the skills to move through obstacles and achieve a life worth living.

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.
