Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
You deserve to feel seen, supported, and connected in your relationships, in your body, and in your sense of self. Whether you're navigating relationship struggles, sexual challenges, cultural expectations, or past trauma, therapy can be a powerful space for healing and growth. I work with individuals, couples, and polycules who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, and help them move toward deeper intimacy, emotional clarity, and self-trust.
My approach integrates trauma-informed care with a deep respect for culture, identity, and lived experience. As an Armenian therapist, I understand the weight of generational patterns, unspoken family rules, and the tension between tradition and individuality. If you come from a background or a culture where emotions or sexuality are hard to talk about, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to do this alone.
You bring the strength. I bring the tools. Together, we can create space for you to reclaim your voice, your relationships, and your sense of wholeness.

Kailey Hockridge
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, EdM, LPCC
I've found that the ways we move through the world are often reflective of how we've learned to survive and do the best we can. But if you'd like to cope differently, or feel that the way you're showing up in your life and relationships isn't serving you anymore, I'm here to walk alongside you as you explore new ways of being.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Something in you knows that what you're carrying runs deeper than the presenting problem.
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and outwardly composed-yet internally they live with anxiety, depression, chronic tension or pain, relentless self-criticism, or a sense that something essential is blocked, muted, or just out of reach. These struggles may surface in mood, in the body, in behavior, or in relationships-including sexuality and intimacy-but they are rarely contained to any one area. They tend to reflect deeper emotional and relational patterns formed early in life, often before language, that continue to shape how a person approaches closeness, vulnerability, agency, pleasure, and self-expression.
My work centers on how early experience shapes the capacity for self-regulation, desire, connection, and meaning throughout life-and particularly on how people come to know what they need and want, how they learn to express or inhibit those impulses, and what happens when these capacities become conflicted, constricted, or difficult to sustain.
I integrate psychoanalytic hypnotherapy, somatic awareness, and clinical sexology within a reflective, depth-oriented process. Hypnosis functions as a central clinical tool-creating conditions for deeper internal contact with emotional, bodily, and unconscious experience that can be difficult to reach through conversation alone. The aim is not only relief from symptoms, but the development of a more coherent and compassionate relationship with one's inner life: sensations, emotions, impulses, and desires.
This work is oriented toward lasting psychological change-and toward greater freedom in how one relates to oneself, one's body, and one's capacity for connection, authenticity, and vitality. It is best suited to those ready to move beyond symptom management toward something more fundamental.
