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
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
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.
