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
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
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
Emily Wilson
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I work with individuals experiencing dissociative disorders—such as identity disruption, memory gaps, depersonalization, or dissociative responses to trauma. My approach is trauma-informed and designed to provide safety, stabilization, and support in phases, allowing your system to build trust, resilience, and internal communication.
Using evidence-based modalities like EMDR (adapted for complex trauma), DBT-informed skills training, and integrative parts work, I help you regulate overwhelming emotions, ground into present-awareness, and gradually integrate fragmented experiences into a more cohesive sense of self. In a secure and compassionate setting—whether in-person or via telehealth—you will be empowered to reclaim control, connect with your parts, and move toward stability, coherence, and wholeness.
