Andrea Meier, LLC | Holistic Wellness Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC, LAC
Welcome! My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, addictions and relational challenges so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future. I specialize in offering holistic, integrative and evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, IFS, CBT, Somatic, KAP and Gottman. My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply. I'm a real person with personal and professional expertise that brings compassion, flexibility and humor, when appropriate.
With 25 years of experience, I have found personalized, integrative approaches to be most effective, helping clients get unstuck from points they've hit in months or years of previous talk therapy or self-help. I bring this expertise to my holistic wellness collective where our holistic therapists specialize in targeting anxiety, trauma and relationships.
I would be happy to chat to learn more about your personal goals. I encourage you to trust yourself as you explore who feels like a good fit. If you are interested in working with me or a therapist at the Collective (varying rates by therapist and approach), please reach out to set up a free consultation. We would be thrilled to welcome you!

Center for Authentic Life & Relationship, LLC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LMFT, CPCS, CSAT-S, CAADC, EMDR, CSTOP-Candidate
Recovering from PTSD and trauma can feel intimidating, especially when painful memories of abuse begin to surface. My role as a therapist is to provide a safe, steady, and compassionate space where you can begin to process what happened and discover that healing is possible. We can also work together to build healthier coping skills that support recovery and help reduce reliance on addictive behaviors. You do not have to face this alone—take the first step toward healing today.

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.
