Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
LGBTQ issues often involve navigating identity, desire, intimacy, and belonging within a complex social and relational context. My work offers an affirming, non-pathologizing space for exploration grounded in psychoanalytic and relational understanding. Together, we explore the emotional meanings that shape sexuality, relationships, and self-expression.

Carter Doyle
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP-BC, EMT-P
This practice is explicitly LGBTQ+ affirming. I work with queer, trans, and questioning clients around identity development, coming out, family/religious rejection, SOGICE/conversion therapy aftereffects, and the day-to-day toll of minority stress. We’ll honor your gender/sexuality as healthy expressions of who you are and help you heal from any messages that said otherwise. You get to bring all of you into the room.

Lansing is Michigan's state capital and sits directly adjacent to East Lansing, home of Michigan State University—one of the country's large public research universities—creating a combined metro area with substantial student and government worker populations and a correspondingly strong demand for mental health services across different life stages. University of Michigan Health-Sparrow and McLaren Greater Lansing provide behavioral health services, and a well-developed private therapy sector serves the mix of government employees, healthcare workers, and university-adjacent professionals in the region. Common therapy concerns include government worker stress, student mental health (with MSU being a significant driver of demand in adjacent East Lansing), economic anxiety tied to Michigan's auto industry, and the adjustment challenges of a capital city navigating Michigan's complex political and fiscal environment. The university community's generally positive attitude toward mental health care supports a culture of help-seeking across the broader metro area.
