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.

Life By Design Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, CPCS, M.Div.
I understand how deeply a difficult or narcissistic relationship can impact the way you see yourself. Many of the women I work with are thoughtful, self-aware, and used to holding it all together—but internally feel unsettled, disconnected, or unsure of who they are anymore.
In our work together, I offer a calm, supportive space where you can slow down and begin to make sense of what you’ve been through. This isn’t about quick fixes or surface-level coping—it’s about meaningful, lasting change. We’ll move at a pace that feels right for you, exploring patterns, rebuilding self-trust, and helping you reconnect with your own voice and inner stability.
My approach is both compassionate and intentional. I want you to feel deeply understood, while also gaining insight and tools that create real shifts in your daily life. Over time, this work helps you develop a stronger sense of self, clearer boundaries, and a more grounded confidence that doesn’t depend on others.
If you’re ready to invest in yourself and create lasting change, I’d be honored to support you in that process.

Open Hearted Holistic Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe that at our heart each and everyone of us is good. I believe that we are all doing the best that we can no matter what that looks like. Somewhere along the line we get convinced that we are lazy or bad or not trying hard enough and just believing that about ourselves really gets in our way. I want to help people see themselves the way I see them.

Columbus, Georgia is home to Fort Benning — one of the US Army's largest installations and the home of the Army Infantry — creating a therapy community substantially shaped by the needs of soldiers, veterans, and military families dealing with combat trauma, moral injury, PTSD, and the emotional complexity of service life. The city's African American population comprises the largest share of the civilian community, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial identity and intergenerational resilience alongside the predominantly military therapy demand are an important part of the local landscape. Martin Army Community Hospital serves the military population, while Piedmont Columbus Regional provides civilian institutional mental health resources. Columbus shares some of its therapy ecosystem with Phenix City, Alabama directly across the Chattahoochee River, giving the metro a bi-state character.
