Dissociative Disorders
Susanne R Mealer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
To what extent a person dissociates varies. Finding out where on the continuum you are is important. People dissociate to keep themselves safe physically, mentally and emotionally. This can become unsafe to do and the very thing that helped you survive can get in your way of living.

Dissociative Disorders
Dr. Tuvia Hoffman
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
Dissociative disorders can be a challenging and disorienting experience, but targeted support can make a significant difference. I specialize in treating dissociative disorders with a focus on understanding and integrating the complexities of dissociation. Through evidence-based approaches such as Trauma-Informed Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I work with clients to address symptoms, enhance self-awareness, and develop coping strategies. Together, we will explore the underlying causes of dissociation, work on stabilizing your sense of self, and foster a more cohesive and grounded sense of identity. My goal is to support you in achieving greater emotional stability and a more connected and fulfilling life.

Dissociative Disorders
Chelsea Ellinger Center for Change
Counselor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern
With appropriate treatment, many people are successful in addressing the major symptoms of dissociative identity disorder and improving their ability to function and live a productive, fulfilling life. Treatment typically involves psychotherapy. Therapy can help people gain control over the dissociative process and symptoms. The goal of therapy is to help integrate the different elements of identity. Therapy may be intense and difficult as it involves remembering and coping with past traumatic experiences. Cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy are two commonly used types of therapy. Hypnosis has also been found to be helpful in treatment of dissociative identity disorder.

Dissociative Disorders
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You don’t have to have a “dissociative disorder” to feel like you’re not fully in your life.
If you’ve ever found yourself zoning out, emotionally numb, going through the motions, or feeling like you’re watching your life from the outside in—it might be dissociation. Many high-functioning women I work with experience dissociation as a trauma response, especially after years of emotional abuse, gaslighting, burnout, or chronic stress. It’s your brain’s way of protecting you when everything feels like too much for too long.
You may feel:
Foggy or forgetful, like your mind shuts down under stress
Detached from your emotions, like you’re “numb” or robotic
Overwhelmed in conflict but unable to respond in the moment
Disconnected from your body—either hypersensitive or completely shut down
Like you can’t focus, finish a thought, or remember what you were doing
If you’re also parenting, managing a high-pressure career, or co-parenting with a narcissist, dissociation may show up even more. Especially if you’ve survived childhood trauma, toxic relationships, or are still living in a high-conflict or emotionally unsafe environment. Dissociation isn’t a disorder in itself—it’s a survival strategy. And it’s more common than you think.
If you’ve been searching:
Why do I feel emotionally numb?
Do I have dissociation or brain fog?
How trauma affects memory and focus
High-functioning dissociation in women
Parenting with CPTSD or emotional detachment
Burnout and mental disconnection
Dissociation from narcissistic abuse
…you're not broken. You’re responding exactly how your nervous system was wired to protect you.
I help high-achieving women safely reconnect with themselves after years of disconnection.
Whether you’re recovering from narcissistic abuse, navigating post-separation trauma, or simply wondering why you feel so flat and far away from the person you used to be—there is a path back to you. One step at a time. With someone who truly understands the terrain.
You don’t need a dissociative disorder diagnosis to know something is off. You just need support that gets it.
