Dissociation
Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Living with dissociation can feel like watching your own life from a distance, experiencing unsettling gaps in time, or feeling deeply disconnected from your body and emotions. I provide a safe, highly stabilized space for individuals navigating dissociative disorders, helping them move from a state of fragmentation toward safety and internal cohesion. Because dissociation is the brain's brilliant way of surviving overwhelming trauma, my approach honors your coping mechanisms while gently helping you heal. We utilize Internal Family Systems (IFS) to compassionately meet and communicate with the different "parts" of your system, alongside advanced brain-body therapies like EMDR and Brainspotting to process the underlying trauma at a pace that keeps you safely grounded. Together, we will work to reduce the distress of disconnection, strengthen your window of tolerance, and help you feel safely anchored in the present moment.

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
Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Grounding, soothing, and leaning to separate out past trauma from present reality helps decrease dissociation. I also approach this with some of the approaches I’ve already mentioned. People who dissociate are often plagued with past thoughts or memories of a very difficult time. Exploring childhood patterns of family interactions gives one a key to understanding their dissociation as a trauma response. Also essential is the learning of other trauma responses that don’t come with the down sides of dissociating, like memory problems or depersonalization/derealization anxiety.

Dissociation
Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation often goes hand-in-hand with stress, trauma, and other forms of emotional overwhelm. While the spectrum of dissociation ranges from zoning out to complete shut-down, it can create invisible barriers between you and your goals. If you're feeling stuck, confused about why your best efforts in life aren't as satisfying, or have tried therapy without success then don't hesitate to reach out. In working together, we would use EMDR and Internal Family Systems interventions to identify the areas where you're finding those barriers and build the resources, skills, and regulation to be able to achieve those goals without losing yourself along the way.
