Dissociation
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.

Dissociation
Dr. Sharareh Namjoo
Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctor of Psychology
Dissociation can be the mind’s way of protecting you when experiences feel overwhelming. It may involve feeling disconnected from your body, emotions, memories, identity, or surroundings. Although these experiences can feel frightening or confusing, they are not personal failures.
I approach dissociative symptoms with patience, compassion, and careful pacing. Therapy begins with safety, stabilization, grounding, and emotional regulation before deeper trauma processing is considered. Together, we work to understand protective patterns, strengthen present-moment awareness, and build a more integrated sense of safety, identity, and connection.

Dissociation
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.

Dissociation
Juliette Kuhlmann
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
My therapeutic approach is deeply informed by Structural Dissociation and Attachment theories. I understand the effect that trauma and stress can have on the mind and body, and the unique strategies our minds can use to protect us from what's overwhelming. You can explore your experience with dissociation at your pace and learn more about calming and self-soothing tools, alongside a clinician skilled in supporting your whole person and one mind.
