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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
If your body is still feeling uncomfortable, agitated, or activated despite years of therapy and self-work, you're in the right place.
If you've already made the connection that some of your physical symptoms are probably stress related, you're well along your way. Once you've identified that, then there are ways that you can learn to work with your nervous system to start moving in a better direction.
I collaborate with intelligent, caring and curious humans to help them learn how to settle their nervous systems and resolve stress-related issues they may be contending with, ranging from digestive issues to anxiety attacks, nervous tics to emotional flares.
I currently have openings on Wednesdays and Thursdays: Let's schedule a free 15-minute consult to see if we're a good fit. Just go to this address: https://oncehub.com/thoughtfulintro
