Therapy focuses on safety, stabilization, and gentle integration—helping you feel more present without forcing memories or pushing too fast. We’ll build grounding skills, strengthen internal trust, and reduce the fear of your own experience.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are different kinds of dissociative disorders. If you have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), then unfortunately I lack training in that area.
However, if you chronically are feeling dissociated, disconnected from your body and/or the present moment, and want to be able to be more in the here and now, I absolutely have training around that. Somatic Experiencing can be very effective at slowly and gently supporting your nervous system to move out of freeze (dissociation) and into a more vital, grounded headspace.

Anna Skomorovskaia (Sky)
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist
As a psychotherapist, I chose to work with dissociative disorders because I understand the impact that trauma can have on an individual's mental health. Dissociation is a natural response to trauma, where individuals may experience a disconnection from their thoughts, emotions, or sense of self. Dissociative disorders are complex and can be challenging to treat, but I believe that therapy can help individuals better understand and manage their symptoms. Through therapy, I work collaboratively with my clients to develop coping strategies and build resilience. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where my clients feel heard and understood, and I am committed to helping them on their path towards healing and recovery.

Living with dissociation can feel confusing, fragmented, and isolating. Our trauma-informed, somatic, and experiential approach helps you reconnect with your body, emotions, and sense of self.

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.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Do you lose time, feel disconnected from yourself, or struggle to remember parts of your life? Dissociation isn't a sign you're broken—it's how your mind protected you when pain was too overwhelming to face. Whether from childhood abuse, ongoing trauma, or adverse experiences your younger self couldn't process, these gaps and disconnections served a purpose. This work is deeply personal to me through both training and lived experience. Together, we'll help your nervous system feel safe enough to stay present, gently reconnect fragmented parts of yourself, and transform survival mechanisms into conscious choice. You'll learn to be here, fully, without fear.

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.

Transformative Dissociative Disorder Therapy: Reconnect with Your True Self in Reality
Hi, I'm Tracey, and I’m here to guide you on a gentle, healing journey if you’re struggling with dissociation—a coping mechanism that may have helped you survive a painful childhood or overwhelming reality. If you’re a creative, sensitive soul who’s felt like you’re floating above it all to escape emotional, physical, or sexual violations, I see you. Those experiences, often rooted in early life, can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. My dissociative disorder therapy practice offers a safe, compassionate space to come back home to your body and heart.
A Trauma-Informed Path to Reintegration
Dissociation often begins as a way to protect oneself from unsafe or repeated boundary violations. In our work together, we’ll focus on healing those core wounds, helping you feel safe enough to stay present in your body. We’ll move slowly, creating a shared, nurturing space where you can reconnect with your sensations and emotions without fear. I’ll guide you in addressing the deeper relationship within yourself, exploring what keeps you running from your truth, so you can gently reintegrate reality and find peace.
My approach is trauma-informed, intuitive, and tailored to your unique story. We’ll work on rebuilding your sense of safety, setting healthy boundaries, and honouring your sensitivity as a strength. As you begin to feel secure in your body, dissociation naturally starts to heal, allowing you to live more fully in the present, connected to your authentic self.
Start Your Healing Journey Today
You don’t have to stay disconnected or carry this alone. If you’re ready to heal from dissociation, reconnect with your body, and embrace your true self, I’m here to support you with warmth and care. Let’s create a safe space to rediscover your strength and wholeness. Book a consultation with me today, and let’s take that first step together.

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.

Richmond Hill is a rapidly growing Toronto suburb in York Region with a majority Chinese population in many of its newer residential developments, alongside significant South Asian and Middle Eastern communities, creating strong demand for Mandarin-, Cantonese-, and Farsi-speaking therapists who can work within East Asian and Iranian cultural frameworks. The city's affluent suburban character and proximity to Toronto's tech and finance economy create a population with both the means and motivation to seek therapy, though help-seeking stigma in some East Asian and Middle Eastern communities remains a consideration. Mackenzie Health provides institutional mental health resources, with many residents also accessing the broader Greater Toronto Area therapy ecosystem. Richmond Hill's fast growth and relatively new development mean community ties can be shallow, and therapists frequently address social isolation and the challenge of belonging in a transient suburban environment.
