Brianna Gomez
Pre-Licensed Professional, MS - Bilingual Trauma Informed Therapist
My name is Brianna Gomez, and I’m a pre-licensed counselor with deep roots in Miami, Florida, where I was born and raised. I earned two master’s degrees—one in Psychology and the other in Clinical Mental Health Counseling—from the University of Louisiana Monroe. My approach to therapy is informed by a trauma-sensitive lens and is strongly influenced by narrative therapy principles. I also incorporate elements from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), grief work, and attachment-based interventions. This blend allows me to support individuals in making meaning of their experiences and moving forward with a clearer sense of direction, self-assurance, and purpose. I believe no one should have to navigate life’s difficulties in isolation. Through our work together, we’ll build toward healing, insight, and personal growth—step by step.

Joel Schmidt
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor
You’re someone who manages a lot — decisions, people, expectations — and from the outside it looks like you have it handled. But anxiety, panic, relationship struggles, or burnout can still take over when the pressure doesn’t let up. You're not looking for generic advice or a venting space. You want focused, exclusive, private therapy that helps you get your balance and confidence back.
I work with professionals, business owners, and individuals in the public eye who want therapy that’s efficient, discreet, and highly individualized. My clients value honesty, expertise, and results — not just coping tips. If you’re ready to take control of your anxiety and bring calm back to your life, I can help you get there.

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.

Dr. Dione De Pooter
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, LMFT, CCTP. CST
I like to offer clients a comfortable and personable experience. Therapy should feel like an easy conversation with someone you trust. The first comment I often receive from clients is that they feel like I am someone who is familiar to them and that they feel very comfortable talking to me. I have worked with couples, families and individuals for over fourteen years, with a goal of helping clients tap into their strengths to facilitate change, let go of the burdens of the past, focus on the present, and envision a bright future.
