Dissociation
Mary Mikhail
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BSW, MACP, RSW
Dissociation can feel like being disconnected from yourself or your surroundings, losing track of time, or having gaps in memory. These experiences can be confusing or unsettling, and they may affect your sense of safety and connection in daily life. You don’t have to explain everything perfectly to begin therapy.
We can start with what you’re experiencing now, identify situations that may bring on dissociation, and develop practical ways to feel more grounded and supported. When it feels appropriate, we can also explore how past experiences may relate to your current patterns. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, with attention to your needs, boundaries, and goals.

Dissociation
Arne Pedersen - Hypnotherapy Victoria
Hypnotherapist, RCCH
Dissociative disorders can create a sense of disconnection from oneself and reality, but healing is possible. With a gentle and supportive approach, I help individuals explore the underlying trauma that may be contributing to their dissociative experiences. Through Hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques, we work towards mind/body/spirit integration and reclaiming a sense of wholeness and authenticity.

Dissociation
Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy can provide a grounding and integrative approach to working with dissociative disorders by helping you gently reconnect with yourself in a safe and supportive way. Through creative expression, you can externalize internal experiences, explore fragmented parts of the self, and develop a stronger sense of presence and embodiment. The art-making process allows for nonverbal communication, making it an effective tool for processing emotions and experiences that may feel difficult to articulate. My approach incorporates mindfulness and body-based practices to support reconnection, self-awareness, and a greater sense of stability and integration.
