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
Sam Naimi
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, Psychoanalyst, Psychotherapist
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.

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
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.

Dissociation
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are different kinds of dissociative disorders. If you have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), then unfortunately I lack training in that area.
However, if you chronically are feeling dissociated, disconnected from your body and/or the present moment, and want to be able to be more in the here and now, I absolutely have training around that. Somatic Experiencing can be very effective at slowly and gently supporting your nervous system to move out of freeze (dissociation) and into a more vital, grounded headspace.
