Andrea Laznik Amit
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA in clinical psychology
I offer a personalized approach to therapy based on psychoanalytic psychotherapy. After getting to know you we can decide on your goals for change. We explore in depth patterns that may be an obstacle to your growth so that you can decide whether to change them( or not). This approach is a process we go through together and the change is long standing. You will have a better understanding of your deep self and better control of where you want to go as well as better connection with others.

Tiffany Warmington
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP
I believe that you are the expert in your own story. My role as a trauma therapist is to offer a safe, compassionate space where we can work together in a way that respects your needs, values, and pace. Healing from difficult experiences does not require rushing into the hardest parts - we can move thoughtfully, one step at a time, creating room for understanding, growth, and change.

Psychoanalytic
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.
