Teo Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, CCC, RP (Qualifying)
Dissociative disorders can often arise as a coping mechanism when individuals experience overwhelming stress or trauma. When emotions or memories become too intense to process, the mind may "shut down" or "disconnect" as a way to protect itself. I specialize in helping individuals with dissociative disorders, utilizing techniques that help expand their window of tolerance—the range of emotional intensity a person can experience before feeling overwhelmed. By using EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness, I support clients in processing past trauma, increasing emotional regulation, and integrating fragmented aspects of the self, ultimately promoting healing and emotional stability.

Mindful Connections Therapy
Registered Psychotherapist
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.

Kendra Anselmo Counselling
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Dissociation is often a protective response developed when experiences feel overwhelming or unsafe. Using an IFS and somatic approach, we’ll gently explore the parts of you that hold pain, fear, or protective responses while building greater connection, grounding, and safety within yourself. Therapy can support you in feeling more present, integrated, and connected to who you are.

Havenwood Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Dissociation can leave you feeling disconnected from your emotions, memories, body, identity, or sense of what is happening around you. These experiences can be confusing, particularly when you don't understand why they happen. Therapy can provide a safe, paced environment to explore dissociation without forcing you to revisit experiences before you're ready.
Amanda has a particular interest in dissociation and supporting survivors of relational trauma, sexual abuse, and narcissistic abuse. Her trauma-informed approach integrates EMDR, IFS, somatic therapy, and other approaches to support greater safety, self-understanding, and reconnection.
