Dissociation
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with adults who feel disconnected from themselves in ways that can be hard to explain. Dissociation can look like going through the motions on autopilot, feeling far away or unreal, losing track of time when you’re stressed, or noticing that your emotions and body feel muted, numb, or out of sync. Some people describe it as feeling foggy, checked out, or like they’re watching their life from the outside. Many people I see function well in work or school while privately feeling detached or not fully present. You may have learned to shut down, go quiet inside, or “check out” to get through overwhelming situations, and those strategies can persist long after the original stress has passed. These patterns often develop in situations where you had to stay small, stay calm, or stay invisible to feel safe. Over time, dissociation can shape how you relate to yourself, how you make decisions, and how close you allow others to get. You may find it hard to trust your internal signals, access your emotions, or feel connected to your own preferences and needs. In our work together, we approach dissociation with respect for the ways it has protected you. We look at what your nervous system learned to do under pressure, how these patterns show up now, and what helps you feel more grounded and present without overwhelming the parts of you that have relied on distance to stay safe. The goal is not to get rid of dissociation, but to help you understand it, reduce its cost, and build a steadier connection to yourself so you can move through your life with more clarity, choice, and a deeper sense of being “here” in your own life.

Dissociation
MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
Dissociative disorders, characterized by disruptions in memory, identity, consciousness, and perception, can be profoundly challenging for those affected. These disruptions often stem from severe trauma or stress, leading individuals to disconnect from their thoughts, feelings, or sense of self as a coping mechanism. Hypnotherapy, with its ability to access the subconscious mind, offers a compassionate and insightful approach to addressing dissociative disorders.

Dissociation
Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
If you find yourself losing blocks of time, or shifting between different parts of yourself to handle different situations, you may be living with a dissociative disorder. Dissociation develops as the mind's remarkably adept response to severe trauma — often trauma experienced very young — a way of surviving what would otherwise be unbearable. Therapy can help you address the concerns that bring you in, whether they're in your relationships, your work, or your family life. Just as important is working with a therapist who is genuinely comfortable with the many parts of you — and I am. That comfort, and that respect for how your mind organized itself to protect you, is where real help begins.

Dissociation
Andrea Barbour
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, PhD(ABD)
Dissociative disorders are best understood as de-realization (the feeling that the world around you isn't real) and de-personalization (that you are not real, you're mind and body do not feel real). We find ourselves feeling this way because our mind has difficulty processing thoughts, memories, associations and feelings. My job is to help you figure out the thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that keep you feeling detached and un-real and help you connect and ground into your body and your life in ways that give a sense of empowerment and connection.

Dissociation
Ilyssa Swartout
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation can feel like being disconnected from yourself, your emotions, or the world around you. You may lose time, feel detached, or struggle to stay present. Therapy can help you safely reconnect with your thoughts and feelings, understand your inner experiences, and restore a sense of grounding and wholeness. Through gentle, trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, DNMS, and Brainspotting, we’ll work to heal the parts of you that learned to separate as a form of protection—helping you feel more integrated, secure, and in control of your life.
