Sex Therapy
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
Sex can be a source of joy, connection, and play. Or a source of frustration, confusion, and pain. Whether you’re dealing with mismatched desire, lack of intimacy, sexual dysfunction, or the impact of trauma, you’re not alone. I help couples talk about sex in a safe, open way and rebuild a physical connection that feels good for both of you. Intimacy is worth working on.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Sex therapy addresses concerns related to desire, arousal, intimacy, and sexual self-expression within the broader context of emotional and relational life. My work integrates psychoanalytic methods, clinical sexology, hypnosis, and somatic awareness to explore the deeper meanings beneath sexual struggles. Together, we work toward a more coherent, embodied, and authentic relationship with desire and intimacy.

8 Years Experience
Online in Akron, OH
Akron's identity as the 'Rubber City' — once the world capital of tire manufacturing — has given way to a post-industrial economy navigating transformation, and therapists here frequently address the long-term psychological effects of deindustrialization: economic stress, community grief, and the identity challenges of a workforce that has had to reinvent itself across generations. The city is home to the University of Akron and has a growing health sciences and polymer science sector, creating a more economically diverse population than its industrial reputation suggests. Summa Health and Cleveland Clinic Akron General provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community concentrated in West Akron, Fairlawn, and the Highland Square neighborhood. Akron's significant Black community and the city's ongoing recovery from decades of economic decline shape a therapy culture in which community resilience and racial equity are recurring clinical themes.
