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.

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.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach dissociative disorders with a compassionate and holistic perspective, integrating psychological principles with Christian values. Recognizing the complexities of dissociation and its impact on an individual's sense of self, I draw upon biblical teachings on identity, healing, and restoration. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance, I help clients explore the underlying factors contributing to dissociation while incorporating prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith into the therapeutic process. Emphasizing the importance of grounding in one's spiritual identity, I collaborate with clients to integrate their faith into coping mechanisms and strategies for managing dissociative symptoms. This approach seeks to address the spiritual, emotional, and psychological dimensions of dissociative disorders, guiding individuals towards healing and a renewed sense of wholeness within the context of their Christian beliefs.

Patricia Tuohy
Counselor/Therapist, M.S. LCMHC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and EMDR Certified Therapist
The brain has an amazing way of helping us survive despite living through traumatic experiences, especially in early childhood. The challenge comes, as these ways of surviving do not serve us well as we get older and are no longer in danger. We will work together to heal the past and move on in a way that will support your current endeavors, relationships, hopes and dreams.
