Psychoanalytic 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.

Courtney Crooks
Psychologist, PhD, CTMH, CCTP
I am a licensed psychologist in private practice, with over 20 years of professional experience in psychological research and clinical practice. I specialize in psychodynamic/psychoanalytic psychotherapy for individual adults ages 18+. I can help you understand the underlying basis of your conflicts, then guide you on your journey toward meaningful, positive change according to your needs and goals. I will work with you to develop a customized psychotherapy plan depending on your specific needs and goals, which may include session packages that are intentionally short-term (12-16 sessions) or long-term (1-2 sessions per week spanning some months). I am a military veteran, and have received specialized training related to military and veteran's issues, so I also welcome persons from the military and veteran communities as prospective patients. I hold professional certifications in Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) through Evergreen Certifications, and an Authorization to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT) from the PSYPACT Commission.

Joseph W. LaFleur
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LICSW, DWTF, SEP, C-PATP
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially when you're navigating complex emotions, identity questions, or past trauma. I'm Joseph LaFleur, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and the clinical director of District Counseling and Psychotherapy, serving clients throughout DC, Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, and New York.
**My Approach**
I specialize in helping men who often feel pressure to "have it together" find space to process what's really going on beneath the surface. Many of my clients come to me after years of pushing through—only to realize that approach isn't sustainable. Whether you're working through relationship challenges, career stress, depression, anxiety, or the aftermath of trauma, I offer a grounded, direct therapeutic style that respects your time and intelligence.
As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I work extensively with gay, bisexual, and queer men navigating identity, relationships, and the unique stressors that come with living authentically in a world that doesn't always make that easy. My practice is a space where you can show up exactly as you are.
**Specialized Training**
Beyond traditional talk therapy, I'm trained in Somatic Experiencing (SEP), which addresses how trauma lives in the body—not just the mind. For clients interested in emerging treatments, I'm also a Certified Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Provider (CPTAP), offering psychedelic integration therapy to help you make meaning from transformative experiences with ketamine, psilocybin, or other medicines.
**What to Expect**
I believe therapy works best when it's collaborative and practical. You won't find endless reflection without direction here. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck and build concrete strategies for lasting change—while honoring the deeper emotional work that real transformation requires.
If you're ready to invest in yourself, I'd welcome the opportunity to connect.
