Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Dissociation operates on a spectrum and dissociative disorders occur as a direct result of long-term trauma starting in early childhood and continuing throughout adolescence. Dissociation is a childhood survival strategy but can be disempowering in adulthood and actually cause problems. I am trauma certified and can provide psychoeducation about trauma and dissociation. I teach clients how to recognize when a dissociative episode is about to happen and can provide simple, concrete grounding tools to help clients prevent dissociation, and how to "bring themselves back" if they do become dissociated. We can practice these tools over and over in session with the intention of clients using them on their own in-between sessions as much as possible. The best way to learn these tools is to practice them when the client ISN'T dissociated so that over time it becomes more natural and the client doesn't have to think too hard about what to do or how to do them. I provide an in-depth evaluation at the beginning of therapy to determine the level/degree of dissociation a person may be experiencing.

Dr. Patricia Webbink
Psychologist, MA and PhD in Clinical Psychology
For many years I have worked individually with clients who suffer with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), as well as in couples, families, and group settings. Popular books such as "Three faces of Eve" and "I Never Promised you a Rose Garden" illustrate what this"split personality" condition can be like. Many clients with DID find healing through Hypnosis. The therapeutic goal is the integration of the various identities. Some of these clients are using medication prescribed by psychiatrists as well. Also, I have worked with other therapists' clients with DID when the therapists were on vacation. Clients with this diagnosis often take a large proportion of a clinician's time, and the responsible therapist cannot leave without having adequate cover. My free zoom seminars provide an opportunity to sample what it is like to work with me. Please feel free to call for info or a consultation: 301-229-8000

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.

Dr. Berkeley Antonioli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LCSW, LCSW-C, MEd
The majority of my training and clinical work has been focused on helping adults recover from early traumatic experiences. Often, the traumas my clients are working through is rooted in early relational and/or sexual experiences that leave a lasting impact on their formative developmental years and beyond. These early experiences often impact how clients have learned to operate and survive in relationships, including developing dissociative processes to cope. Dissociative disorders exist on a continuum, ranging from developmentally typical dissociation to a severely fractured experience of the self. Complex trauma often presents with dissociative elements that clients have adapted to survive and tolerate feeling overwhelmed or triggered.

Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation is often the mind’s way of surviving overwhelming or repeated trauma. I have experience working with military members, children in the foster care system with complex trauma, and adults healing from childhood neglect or abuse—contexts where dissociation often develops as a protective response. I use IFS, trauma-informed approaches, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and psychodynamic work to help clients build safety, grounding, and integration at their own pace. My diagnostic expertise supports careful differentiation between dissociation, PTSD, psychosis, or mood disorders, and I collaborate with prescribers when appropriate to ensure comprehensive care.

Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation can feel like being disconnected from yourself, your emotions, or the world around you. You may lose time, feel detached, or struggle to stay present. Therapy can help you safely reconnect with your thoughts and feelings, understand your inner experiences, and restore a sense of grounding and wholeness. Through gentle, trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, DNMS, and Brainspotting, we’ll work to heal the parts of you that learned to separate as a form of protection—helping you feel more integrated, secure, and in control of your life.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Dissociative disorders, characterized by disruptions in memory, identity, consciousness, and perception, can be profoundly challenging for those affected. These disruptions often stem from severe trauma or stress, leading individuals to disconnect from their thoughts, feelings, or sense of self as a coping mechanism. Hypnotherapy, with its ability to access the subconscious mind, offers a compassionate and insightful approach to addressing dissociative disorders.
