Dissociative Disorders
Stacey Hellman
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C
Dissociation operates on a spectrum and dissociative disorders occur as a direct result of long-term trauma starting in early childhood and continuing throughout adolescence. Dissociation is a childhood survival strategy but can be disempowering in adulthood and actually cause problems. I am trauma certified and can provide psychoeducation about trauma and dissociation. I teach clients how to recognize when a dissociative episode is about to happen and can provide simple, concrete grounding tools to help clients prevent dissociation, and how to "bring themselves back" if they do become dissociated. We can practice these tools over and over in session with the intention of clients using them on their own in-between sessions as much as possible. The best way to learn these tools is to practice them when the client ISN'T dissociated so that over time it becomes more natural and the client doesn't have to think too hard about what to do or how to do them. I provide an in-depth evaluation at the beginning of therapy to determine the level/degree of dissociation a person may be experiencing.

Dissociative Disorders
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.
