Dissociation
Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
When life has been overwhelming, sometimes the mind protects you by disconnecting: from your feelings, your body, your memories, or the moment you're in. Dissociation can feel frightening and isolating, but it makes sense as a survival response, and it can change. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space where we move at your pace, build safety and grounding first, and gently work with the experiences underneath. The goal isn't just to manage the fog, it's to genuinely understand yourself, help the disconnected parts of your experience feel safe again, and come home to your own life. Together we'll work toward feeling more present, more whole, and more equipped to navigate your world.

Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Through my work with trauma survivors, I have come to work with the dissociative disorders. With a constant eye to safety and grounding, I have guided clients through reflective and experiential exercises to explore their understanding of their experiences and ways in which they may cope or overcome their perceptual challenges.
Since my undergraduate degree, I have been motivated to work with individuals experiencing dissociative disorders. I read a number of first-person accounts, as well as articles, and watched countless interviews with afflicted individuals, expert professionals, and close others in the early days of this pursuit. I continue to read what I can and gain insight from those afflicted, where possible.

Dissociation
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Dissociation can be a way the mind copes with overwhelming trauma, including experiences like childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other forms of severe stress. You might notice feeling disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, or even your body, sometimes experiencing memory gaps, “zoning out,” or feeling like an observer in your own life.
In therapy, I provide a safe and grounding space to explore these experiences, understand the connection between trauma and dissociation, and develop strategies to feel more present, integrated, and in control. The goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and reclaim a sense of safety, stability, and self-trust.

Dissociation
Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Dissociation is one of the body's most intelligent responses to overwhelming experience. It can look like spacing out, feeling unreal, losing time, or living at a distance from your own life. Many people do not recognize it because it has been their normal for so long. I work somatically and gently to help you rebuild connection to your body and your present experience, at a pace your nervous system can actually tolerate. We do not force contact. We create the conditions for it to return.

Corey Lesperance
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying); RP(Q)
Some clients seek help in living with diagnoses or symptoms of dissociative disorders, that distract them from their life and can be disorienting or even frightening. I help them develop tools to first process this fear and apprehension, and then explore what causes this to happen, and how we can work on increasing their control, or reducing their anxiety.

Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Often an adaptive response to traumatic experiences, we might unconsciously dissociate in order to cope with the overwhelming impacts. My trauma-informed approach to working with dissociative states involves a phased approach toward healing that seeks to sensitively and safely reconnect us to our bodies, foster reintegration between the mind and body and restore a sense of agency, resiliency and emotional strength.

Dissociation
Hiba Khatkhat @ Under The Oaks Self Care Center
Registered Psychotherapist, MA CMHC, RP
Dissociation is the mind's great ability to protect you and help you get through extreme overwhelm and hardship. We all have the ability to do it. It's on a continuum. When it's not seen as a disorder, it shows up as numbing or being on auto-pilot (like when you forget to take your exit driving and you say "my mind was somewhere else"). When it's a disorder, it can have tremendous impacts on many areas in your life. Focusing on integration and stabilization becomes key. We combine trauma informed care with the structural dissociation theory of personality, along with practices informed by internal family systems to deliver a tailored approach, in addition to trauma therapy that targets the root causes.

Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
Who does not want to escape reality at times? Dissociative disorders are mental disorders that involve experiencing a disconnection and lack of continuity between thoughts, memories, surroundings, actions and identity. People with dissociative disorders escape reality in unhealthy and involuntary ways as a means to deal with intrusive and often traumatic thoughts and memories.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
