Experiential Therapy
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
In a world of one-size-fits-all therapy, my practice stands apart through deeply personalized care. I understand that your healing journey is uniquely yours, which is why I never rely on formulaic or cookie-cutter approaches. Instead, I create individualized treatment plans tailored specifically to your needs, history, and goals. I don't tell you what you should do—I help guide you to make the best decisions for yourself.
What sets my practice apart is my commitment to authentic connection and methods rooted in both research and lived experience. Research shows that the single variable correlating most strongly with successful therapy outcomes isn't the specific method used—it's whether you feel genuinely understood and emotionally safe with your therapist. I've built this kind of connection with clients across wildly different backgrounds and circumstances.
My approach blends evidence-based techniques (CBT, ACT, Coherence Therapy, clinical hypnosis) with mindfulness practices and what I call "a healthy dose of woo." I bring the wisdom of clinical training alongside the understanding that comes from my own healing journey, including my experience with parentification and the deep work of unlearning old patterns. This combination allows me to guide you with authentic confidence and practical insight—not just theoretical knowledge.
If you've felt unheard, dismissed, or exhausted by therapy that felt like checking boxes or repeating the same surface-level strategies, you've found a different kind of resource. Many of my clients come to me after years of talk therapy that addressed symptoms without getting to the root of what's creating their struggles. Through my "update your operating system" approach, we access the deeper patterns and beliefs that may have been overlooked in conventional therapy settings.
My style is warm, direct, and refreshingly real—no therapy-speak or pretentious analysis. I trust that when we create the right conditions, your own inner knowing will guide us exactly where we need to go. There's something almost magical about this work when we trust the process.
Consider contacting me if you:
- Are experiencing mild to moderate anxiety, trauma effects, or relationship struggles (rather than acute crises)
- Sense that your current patterns have roots you haven't fully explored or understood
- Are ready for an approach that gets to the "why" behind your struggles, not just symptom management
- Want to develop practical skills and deeper self-understanding to create lasting change
- Value a collaborative partnership where you're not being fixed or rescued, but genuinely supported
I particularly welcome clients who are curious, open to looking at their lives holistically, and ready to do the sometimes uncomfortable work of growth. If you want genuine understanding, practical tools, and someone who has your back as you navigate complex emotions and life challenges, we'll likely be a good match.

Soma Aloia, SolDance Therapy & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, CYT, OrdM
I create a safe space for you to slow down, settle, and be yourself. Always an invitation. My work is deeply meaningful and something I am passionate about - knowing how we can come into our full potential given the right support - kindness, patience, acknowledgement, and deep listening. "Being-with" holds the greatest potential for transformation. I hold you in the place you need the deepest support. We sit and listen, together. Understanding our stories is important for starting healing, but learning to be with the body to allow the unspoken voice of frozen traumatic imprints to thaw and heal, is the only way to true behavior change and transformation. My work with you helps you do all this. Schedule a 15-minute complimentary intro call to find out more. https://www.somaaloia.com/contact-soma-aloia
While highly trained and educated, my greatest professional growth and abilities come from the Health of my own healing experiences - my inner laboratory - and from deep learning with my clients themselves. It brings me great joy to be of service to all ages, supporting and witnessing our "being and becoming" as humans, in spite of what is going on around us. Can we heal years and layers of deep wounding and hurt? Yes we can! Over and over again, I have witnessed it... yes we can! We create secure attachment in a turbulent world, one person at a time.
I dedicate my practice to my teachers who've come before me and to my precious clients - who always believe enough in themselves to be courageous... to trust their hearts even if "the seas catch fire". It is an honor to witness and support this, along with supporting the shift happening in the whole world because of this work, and because of love. I look forward to meeting you in the spaciousness of this work together.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
I believe that real change begins the moment someone feels truly seen — not managed, not minimized, but genuinely understood. My approach is collaborative and deeply human. I bring both clinical precision and warmth to every session, because I think the best therapy holds space for both the hard truths and the hope that something different is possible.
When you work with me, I want you to feel accepted exactly as you are — not as a diagnosis, not as a set of symptoms, but as a whole person navigating something really difficult. My clients often describe feeling like they can finally exhale — like they've found a space where nothing they say will be met with judgment, and where someone is genuinely in their corner. I work hard to understand not just what you're going through, but what makes you you.
And while I hold space for wherever you are right now, I also hold hope — sometimes on your behalf, before you're able to hold it yourself. I believe every person who walks through my door is deserving of healing, connection, and a life that feels livable. My job is to help you believe that too, and to walk alongside you as you build it.

Experiential Therapy
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.
