Dissociation
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.

Dissociation
Lynda Griffin Bull
Counselor/Therapist, MC, LPC
Dissociation can occur when the mind tries to protect itself from overwhelming stress or trauma. You may experience feeling detached from your thoughts, emotions, or surroundings, or have difficulty staying present. In therapy, we approach these experiences with care and patience, focusing first on building safety, stability, and self-regulation. As trust develops, we can gently explore the underlying experiences that may have contributed to dissociation while helping you strengthen grounding skills and a more connected sense of self.

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.

Dissociation
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I have had the privilege of long, deep work with many highly dissociative people. I have always found work on early adjustments to trauma to be freeing and empowering. This requires formation of a durable, powerful therapeutic alliance in which experiences previously too distressing or terrifying can be assimilated in new ways.
