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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are different kinds of dissociative disorders. If you have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), then unfortunately I lack training in that area.
However, if you chronically are feeling dissociated, disconnected from your body and/or the present moment, and want to be able to be more in the here and now, I absolutely have training around that. Somatic Experiencing can be very effective at slowly and gently supporting your nervous system to move out of freeze (dissociation) and into a more vital, grounded headspace.

24 Years Experience
Online in Worcester, MA Massachusetts
Worcester is one of New England's most diverse cities and home to a cluster of colleges and universities — including Clark University, College of the Holy Cross, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and UMass Chan Medical School — that together generate significant student mental health demand and a well-developed clinical training ecosystem. The city's large Latino, Vietnamese, and African American populations create consistent demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists, and Worcester has been an important destination for refugee resettlement from Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Central America. UMass Memorial Medical Center provides major institutional mental health resources, while the city's university ecosystem supplies important clinical training. Worcester's working-class character and lower cost of living relative to Boston make private therapy more financially accessible, though therapist density remains lower than in the Boston metro.
