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.

Dissociation
Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation is often the mind’s way of surviving overwhelming or repeated trauma. I have experience working with military members, children in the foster care system with complex trauma, and adults healing from childhood neglect or abuse—contexts where dissociation often develops as a protective response. I use IFS, trauma-informed approaches, somatic awareness, mindfulness, and psychodynamic work to help clients build safety, grounding, and integration at their own pace. My diagnostic expertise supports careful differentiation between dissociation, PTSD, psychosis, or mood disorders, and I collaborate with prescribers when appropriate to ensure comprehensive care.
