Contemplative Psychotherapy
Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
Being a therapist is a great privilege. I enjoy working with anyone who is eager to understand what is happening in their life and why they are struggling. Together, we'll try to understand what is creating the trouble - including perhaps some unconscious patterns that are at work - and then we'll put them in perspective, cut them down to size, and work through what can be done. I create a safe, empathic, and comfortable environment for counseling where we can talk about anything at all without judgment, and in total privacy.

Contemplative Psychotherapy
Marion Williams
Counselor/Therapist, LPC,NCC
I have a background working with individuals and groups in many settings. If you are struggling with past trauma, trying to figure out relationship issues or how to manage or decrease anxiety, talk therapy can help. During our first sessions we will delve into the issues that bring you to therapy and develop a plan. Success is when my clients begin to feel change and make improvements in their life and relationships .

Contemplative Psychotherapy
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.
