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. Allison Williams
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I specialize in helping those who are anxious and overwhelmed learn to recognize and honor their needs - it may mean: giving yourself permission to slow down, scale back, set healthy boundaries, go after what you truly want, and be yourself (authentically and unapologetically). As your partner on this journey, I’ll help you muster your strength, foster your self-acceptance, and feel more at ease.
If you’ve always cast aside your own needs to give everyone and everything your all, I want to help you finally get what you deserve: better relationships, self-care, and greater life satisfaction.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be used to keeping things together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed or not good enough inside. Maybe part of you feels responsible for everyone else, while another part is exhausted and wants a break. Or you want to feel close to others but find yourself pulling away when you feel vulnerable. I help people understand these different parts of themselves. Even the parts that criticize, shut down, or push you too hard often developed for reasons like helping you cope or protect you from being hurt.
My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. There’s room for whatever you’re feeling, including mixed feelings about change.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we find ourselves far from where we want to be or struggling to feel the happiness we deserve. Therapy provides a valuable opportunity to reflect, gain clarity, and work toward the life you envision. It’s truly a privilege to help my clients navigate their struggles and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. If you're ready to take that step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
