EXPERTISE
Dr. Stephanie Gamache is a psychoanalytic clinical sexologist and hypnotherapist based in New York City. She helps patients reconnect with what they genuinely want—in their sexual lives, relationships, and daily experiences. Her doctoral research led to the development of the Sexual Sense of Self framework, showing how early experiences with need, feeding, and satisfaction shape lifelong patterns of desire, intimacy, and self-expression.

WHOLENESS
Dr. Gamache’s integrative approach unites mind, body, and relational experience. By addressing psychological and physiological patterns together, she helps patients restore the natural rhythm of desire, satisfaction, and connection that underlies wellbeing.

PERSEVERANCE
Lasting change requires patience and dedication. Dr. Gamache guides patients through the challenges of transformation with steadiness and efficiency, helping them develop resilience and self-trust as they reconnect with who they are and what they truly want.

SINCERE COMMUNICATION
Dr. Gamache values direct, honest communication grounded in empathy and respect. She creates a therapeutic space where patients can speak openly about parts of themselves that have felt hidden or silenced, and begin to name what they truly feel and need.

EMPATHY
Her work is rooted in deep emotional attunement. Patients often describe feeling seen and understood for the first time. Through this empathic recognition, patients can safely explore vulnerability and rediscover their capacity for authentic desire and connection.
