Sumer Statler Aeed
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I am a psychologist that is passionate about all of us living the fully awake and vibrant lives we are meant to. Sometimes this involves healing from the past, other times it means working towards visioning and creating the future, oftentimes both. It generally involves some insight but also a good dose of experiential tools and learning about your central nervous system and how to both understand and work with it, what we call both top down and bottom up tools. Ready for real change and willing to do the work? (yep it is work but well worth it) Let's go.

I work with individuals and couples struggling with relationship challenges, anxiety, overthinking, trauma, and patterns like people-pleasing or avoidance. I help clients move beyond coping and overanalyzing their feelings to actually experience real, lasting change.

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.

Ann Abbey
Limited License Psychologist, MA, LLP, RYT
Do you ever lie awake replaying conversations, wondering if you said the wrong thing, or wishing you could take care of everyone without feeling so depleted? Maybe you move through your days on autopilot, doing everything you’re “supposed” to do, yet still feeling an ache inside. You want to slow down, feel more present and experience real moments of connection and joy. But no matter how hard you try, something still feels off. You just want to know that you’re going to be okay.
Together, we’ll gently explore what’s keeping you up at night and what patterns aren’t serving you anymore. You’ll have a warm, grounded space to bring your worries, your exhaustion, your questions and the parts of yourself you’ve kept hidden. I’ll meet you there. With care, honesty, and the kind of support that lets you show up exactly as you are.
In our work, you’ll begin to reconnect with your inner steadiness, soften the fear and self-doubt that keep you stuck, strengthen the relationships that matter and make room for more ease and clarity.
Sessions are available by video or phone, making it simple to get the support you need. If this resonates, I’d love to talk. You can reach out through my website or give me a call. I look forward to connecting.
