Dissociation
Gregory Smith
Counselor/Therapist, LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor), BCPC
Dissociative Disorders, including DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder - formerly Multiple Personality Disorder), requires a very special set of skills and experience to help those suffering. I have spent most of my counseling career working with those that used dissociation to survive extremely difficult abuses with embedded intolerable conflicts. I have worked with all levels of PTSD and dissociation, including the worst where ritual abuse was used to create programmed alters. Deprogramming the human mind is not an easy task, but using the right approached, it can be achieved so that even the most traumatized individuals can go on to live their lives as it was originally intended. This type of therapy requires lots of patience and time on behalf of the therapist and client in order to be healed and restored from all the brokenness. Therefore, because of the nature and complication of resolving DID, longer sessions are required in order to make definitive progress.

Dissociation
Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach dissociative disorders with a compassionate and holistic perspective, integrating psychological principles with Christian values. Recognizing the complexities of dissociation and its impact on an individual's sense of self, I draw upon biblical teachings on identity, healing, and restoration. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance, I help clients explore the underlying factors contributing to dissociation while incorporating prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith into the therapeutic process. Emphasizing the importance of grounding in one's spiritual identity, I collaborate with clients to integrate their faith into coping mechanisms and strategies for managing dissociative symptoms. This approach seeks to address the spiritual, emotional, and psychological dimensions of dissociative disorders, guiding individuals towards healing and a renewed sense of wholeness within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Dissociation
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.
