Object Relations
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.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I believe every human being has inherent value, yet so many of us carry deep shame from past experiences that tell us otherwise—messages like “I’m bad,” “I’m too much,” “I’m unlovable,” or “If I show myself, I’ll be rejected.” These beliefs can quietly shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, and what we think is possible. In therapy, I work to help uncover and soften these old burdens so they no longer hold you back. My style is warm, collaborative, and deeply respectful of the courage it takes to show up. Together, we’ll build a space where you can feel seen in your wholeness, reconnect with your own inner wisdom, and move toward a life that feels freer and more grounded.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Despite being a good listener, I don't see myself as a "talk" therapist. I am interested in how you, your nervous system, and the environment are getting along with each other. We will DO things in our work just as much as talk and reflect. I provide ways to reduce overwhelming emotions that impact effectiveness, break unhelpful reactions/patterns, and enhance internal resources for navigating the world as it is. My personal style is a combination of a little irreverent spice and humor while deeply honoring your concerns and goals.
