Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
Sometimes you may be worried you are “going crazy” or imagining things and other times, you wonder if you have DID. It’s very confusing and more than a little scary. I’m certified in treating complex trauma and I’ve been working with Dissociative Identity Disorder for 5 years now. I know you aren’t going crazy or imagining things. I will help you to understand what is going on and why it’s happening. I will help you build communication and cooperative relationships within your system.
My approach to working with DID is focus first on stabilization rather than memory work. This is because memory work done too early can further traumatize you. For this reason, I will not ask you lots of questions about the traumas you have experienced.
I offer a free 15-minute telehealth (video) consultation; this is a great way for you to get some of your questions answered and to see if you would feel comfortable working with me. See my website for more information about me and about my approach to treating DID.

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.

Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes in life, an experience so traumatic happens that my psyche splits and cuts off part of myself in order to protect myself from what happened. It was a defensive mechanism at the time of the trauma to protect me from my incapacity to process it, but now its also created a situation where part of me is cut off from the other part of me. If I stay this way, I remain stuck in a fragmented or wounded place psychologically. The reality is we all want to be whole and part of healing may involve a process of reintegrating all the parts of myself with each other. If you think you may be dissociating, call us. We would come alongside you to help you.

Amanda S. Vaught
Psychologist, PsyD
I provide trauma-informed therapy for dissociative disorders, helping clients understand how dissociation develops as a protective response to trauma or overwhelming stress. Together, we work to build grounding and stabilization skills, improve emotional regulation, and gently reconnect fragmented parts of experience. My approach integrates evidence-based trauma therapy with compassion and safety at its core. I help clients reduce distressing symptoms, strengthen their sense of self, and move toward healing, wholeness, and lasting emotional resilience.
