Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes in life, an experience so traumatic happens that my psyche splits and cuts off part of myself in order to protect myself from what happened. It was a defensive mechanism at the time of the trauma to protect me from my incapacity to process it, but now its also created a situation where part of me is cut off from the other part of me. If I stay this way, I remain stuck in a fragmented or wounded place psychologically. The reality is we all want to be whole and part of healing may involve a process of reintegrating all the parts of myself with each other. If you think you may be dissociating, call us. We would come alongside you to help you.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometime in the past, you were exposed to something, or a series of somethings, so radically alarming that your mind and body and spirit could not remain integrated. You split apart in order to survive. And as the threat subsided, you connected back to yourself, but fractures remain, and you never know when a new stressor will send you into a dissociative state once again. You don't have to live your life, floating like a ghost behind, and above your body, witnessing it all from afar. Let's heal your dissociation, and mend the inner schisms.

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Dissociation is the mind's defense against persistent or severe trauma and neglect. It is when a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. This process is an amazing defense/survival mechanism, but it also leads to patterns that interfere with normal functioning. Ego-state work, combined with EMDR works to heal the profoundly painful impact of this type of trauma, and leads to significantly enhanced resilience and the ability to experience joy, love and belonging - both internally, and in relationships with others.

Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Do you feel detached from yourself or the world around you, as if your life feels flat, unreal, or unfamiliar. These experiences can be deeply unsettling and isolating, and it’s common to feel scared or unsure how to talk about them.
I want you to know that these experiences are more common than people realize, and doesn’t mean there is something “wrong” with you. Depersonalization/derealization are often protective responses to stress, overwhelm, or trauma to create distance from your lived-experience as a way of coping.
In therapy, we focus on reducing fear around the experience, relaxing your mind and body, and understanding and working through the underlying beliefs, patterns, and experiences contributing to your symptoms. As acceptance and relaxation increase, these symptoms often begin to loosen on their own. Healing is possible, and I’d love to walk alongside you as you find your way back to steadier ground.
