Dissociative Disorders
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.

Dissociative Disorders
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist & Psychoanalyst
I specialize in working with dissociation, including with patients living with dissociative identity disorder (DID). Dissociation is our mind’s way of keeping us safe when life becomes overwhelming, a creative act of survival rather than a defect. Our work together is slow and collaborative, creating space for different parts of you to come into relationship, build trust, and feel more connected within yourself, always honoring your timing and readiness. I am not an advocate of integration of alters/parts, but rather an advocate of inter-part communication; much like a board meeting, parts should be able to communicate with one another and support one another, rather than work divisively.

Dissociative Disorders
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Dissociation typically stems from trauma as a response to keeping a core part of the self safe. Human beings are neurologically wired to protect themselves from harm. Yet this learned response to abuse or terror may no longer serve its purpose and may be inhibiting you from living freely and fully engaging in meaningful activities or relationships. I can help you to explore--unobtrusively and at your pace--how to acquire mastery over the mechanisms that you developed to keep yourself safe.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
