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.

Truth Berenson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I offer counseling and coaching for individuals of all genders, sexualities, racial identities, and family formations. My work is rooted in developing a strong therapeutic relationship. Within the counselor-client connection, clients are invited to explore relational dynamics and to safely become more honest with themselves and others. Through collaboration, I support clients to clearly identify boundaries, honor desires, and expand their capacity to tap into innate resources. My approach is informed by psychodynamic theory, spiritual and archetypal counseling, parts work, creative arts therapy, and goal-oriented coaching in addition to somatic interventions. These coupled with a client-centered and anti-oppressive lens facilitate changes that are both radical and sustainable.
Areas of specialty include: partnership and family conflict, self doubt, guilt & shame, eating disorders & body image, gender, sexuality, LGBTQIA+ experiences, transitioning, PTSD, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, addiction, attachment, polyamory, family dynamics, interpersonal and communal conflict, spiritual growth, strengthening intuition, political identity, financial stability, transitions, and creative blocks.
My therapeutic style is intuitive, fierce, and nurturing. With passion and humor, I approach each person with deep respect for the grace and grit of human experience and an abiding trust in each individual's capacity for growth and resilience.
I also support couples struggling to navigate both the inevitable and unexpected challenges of partnership. Every partnership has unique strengths and challenges and even the strongest relationships sometimes need help weathering life's hardships, be they related to health concerns, finances, sexuality and intimacy, children, work stress, extended family, etc.
Couples counseling can help partners improve communication, develop a deeper understanding of each other's experiences, increase awareness of intentions and impact, and relate to each other with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment.
I support couples to make collaborative decisions and move through conflict with courage, honesty, and mutual respect.
Partners learn communication and deescalation skills, develop resiliency, and grow as individuals and partners. Together we can identify and heal attachment wounds, explore power dynamics, and build trust.

Dr. Vanessa Vitiello
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Choosing a therapist, especially during pregnancy or postpartum, can feel like a vulnerable and important decision. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up as you are. I specialize in working with women navigating anxiety, feelings of overwhelm, and perfectionism during pregnancy, postpartum, and early motherhood. Many of my clients are used to holding it all together, yet feel anxious, stretched thin, or disconnected during this transition. This can be completely disorienting, leaving you feeling like it is hard to ask for support.
My approach is integrative and holistic, combining evidence-based therapy with mindfulness and mind–body practices. With my background as a psychologist and training as a yoga teacher, I help clients not only gain insight, but also feel more regulated and capable.
I offer a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where we can make sense of your experience and develop tools that feel realistic and sustainable. Therapy with me is about creating space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and move forward with a clearer sense of what they need and how to care for themselves

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families to create meaningful, measurable change in how they feel, function, and relate to others. My approach is evidence-based, empathic, and solution-focused, with therapy centered on helping you achieve clear goals so that progress is noticeable in daily life. I work with a wide range of concerns—including anxiety, low mood, loss, self-doubt, and life transitions—and have particular expertise in performance psychology, public speaking anxiety, panic attacks, fear of flying, and questions of purpose or meaning. If you’re unsure whether therapy is the right next step, I also offer a one-time consultation assessment to help clarify what may be contributing to your current stress and identify effective pathways forward, whether through therapy or other strategies.

Maria Elizabeth LeBlanc
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, M.Ed MSW LICSW
A guiding principle in my work is the belief that the quality of the therapeutic relationship is of the utmost importance. Neuroscientific literature supports the curative powers of deep empathic attunement (limbic resonance), and the brain/body's ability to heal. As such, in addition to attending to you with the same level of respectful presence that I would expect in a therapist, I use both cognitive/emotional and mind/body tools to assist you in your healing. I think you will find me warm, genuine, empathic, and knowledgeable.
