Alisa Lindenbaum
Art Therapist, MPS, ATR-BC, LCAT, LPAT
Trauma results in disconnection from self. In our work together, we will explore your sense of safety, attachment, self regulation, and more through the therapeutic relationship and creative work custom tailored to your unique interests and needs. We will collaborate to explore and process your trauma in safe, gentle, and distanced ways that won't be overwhelming, and work towards increasing connection between dissociated aspects or parts. The creative process is particularly beneficial for survivors of trauma and those who experience mild to severe forms of dissociation.

Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Grounding, soothing, and leaning to separate out past trauma from present reality helps decrease dissociation. I also approach this with some of the approaches I’ve already mentioned. People who dissociate are often plagued with past thoughts or memories of a very difficult time. Exploring childhood patterns of family interactions gives one a key to understanding their dissociation as a trauma response. Also essential is the learning of other trauma responses that don’t come with the down sides of dissociating, like memory problems or depersonalization/derealization anxiety.
