Liberation Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Dissociation is a very intelligent survival response to overwhelming experiences. It can look like feeling numb, disconnected from your body, losing time, spacing out, or feeling like you are watching your life from the outside. I work slowly and carefully with dissociation, focusing first on safety, grounding, and building a stable internal sense of self. We go at a pace that does not retraumatize or overwhelm your nervous system.

Marina Rozenberg, MD
Therapist, MD
Dissociative disorders often emerge as protective responses to overwhelming or fragmented early experiences, including trauma. In psychodynamic psychotherapy, we work to uncover and understand the unconscious conflicts and emotional wounds underlying dissociation. By exploring these inner dynamics in a safe, consistent therapeutic relationship, you can begin to integrate dissociated aspects of the self and develop a more cohesive, grounded sense of identity. This process supports deep, lasting healing and greater emotional continuity.

Marc Donegan, Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, Psychodynamic Analysis & Transactional Analysis, PACFA, BACP, ITTA, EATA, UKATA
Dissociation is often the mind’s way of surviving something too overwhelming to process in the moment, whether that’s a single event or prolonged early experience. I work with clients to build a sense of safety and grounding first, then gently reconnect with the parts of experience that have been split off, using trauma-informed approaches alongside Transactional Analysis to make sense of the underlying script.

Amherst is a suburban town of Buffalo and home to the North Campus of the University at Buffalo, one of the largest universities in the State University of New York system, bringing a substantial student population and the mental health demands that come with a large public research university. The town's generally affluent suburban character contrasts with the significant challenges faced by neighboring Buffalo, and many residents access mental health services in the broader Buffalo metro area alongside local providers. UB's counseling services are a primary resource for students, and a private therapy sector serves Amherst's established families and professional residents. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, academic and identity development stress at a large research university, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and the transitional challenges of navigating life in a prosperous suburb adjacent to a struggling urban center.
