Dissociation
TREATMENT AND TOOLS FOR TRAUMA
Licensed Psychoanalyst, PH.D., IN PSYCHOANALYSIS AND NEUROSCIENCE, CERTIFIED PSYCHOANALYST, PSY.A, & LICENSED PSYCHOANALYST
Dissociative Disorders occur when the mind is overwhelmed and needs to "check out." This is an automatic process, especially when the person has nowhere to turn for relief from their suffering. Then the mind does its job to protect the person by disconnecting and "going" elsewhere. Dissociative Disorders are almost always the result of trauma, some type of traumatizing experience. In my experience, these kinds of disorders require long-term treatment 2-3 times per week. Just being present in the room with the patient is where I start. Creating a very safe environment that is conducive to talking about your experiences. As the patient begins to experience a safer space I will add the supplements, diet and exercise, and the creation of special "flow experiences" for the patient. You are welcome to call my office at 661-478-0667 for an evaluation.

Dissociation
Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Dissociation can show up as feeling disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, or sense of self. I provide a steady and grounding therapeutic space to help individuals understand these experiences and the role they have played in managing overwhelming situations. The work focuses on increasing awareness, strengthening a sense of stability, and gradually reconnecting with one’s internal experience in a safe and manageable way.

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.
