Dissociation
Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

Dissociation
Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
One way the system copes with trauma, especially when it is severe or occurs over an extended period of time, is to disconnect from the painful, enraging and deeply shameful experiences and the feeling of powerlessness. These disconnected experiences often exist in a mental space that is isolated from the main self-experience. That is, they can become dissociated. Dissociation takes place along a broad spectrum. Overall, and especially when it is more severe, Michael will turn to the psychotherapy relationship itself to become a vehicle through which a re-integration process can begin. This starts with the development of an emotionally safe and judgement-free psychotherapy space, attuned to self-regulation and the mind-body connection.

Dissociation
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
Dissociative disorders are a complex group of conditions characterized by a disconnection between thoughts, identity, consciousness, and memory. As someone providing support to individuals with dissociative disorders, I offer a safe and validating space for them to explore their experiences and symptoms. Through therapy, we work together to understand the underlying causes of their dissociation, which may include trauma, stress, or other psychological factors. I provide education about dissociation and its effects, helping patients develop coping strategies to manage dissociative episodes and increase awareness of their triggers. Additionally, I work with patients to strengthen their sense of self, enhance grounding techniques, and promote the integration of dissociative parts. My goal is to empower patients to regain a sense of control over their lives, improve their overall well-being, and foster greater connection and coherence in their identity and experiences.
