Dissociation
Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Often an adaptive response to traumatic experiences, we might unconsciously dissociate in order to cope with the overwhelming impacts. My trauma-informed approach to working with dissociative states involves a phased approach toward healing that seeks to sensitively and safely reconnect us to our bodies, foster reintegration between the mind and body and restore a sense of agency, resiliency and emotional strength.

Dissociation
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Dissociation as a protective, adaptive response to trauma rather than a conscious choice. When emotions are suppressed or invalidated, especially in childhood, the mind may disengage to maintain safety. I guide clients to reconnect with their bodies, explore their emotions, and be curious and compassionate to reintegrate the self.

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.

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.

Transformative Dissociative Disorder Therapy: Reconnect with Your True Self in Reality
Hi, I'm Tracey, and I’m here to guide you on a gentle, healing journey if you’re struggling with dissociation—a coping mechanism that may have helped you survive a painful childhood or overwhelming reality. If you’re a creative, sensitive soul who’s felt like you’re floating above it all to escape emotional, physical, or sexual violations, I see you. Those experiences, often rooted in early life, can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself. My dissociative disorder therapy practice offers a safe, compassionate space to come back home to your body and heart.
A Trauma-Informed Path to Reintegration
Dissociation often begins as a way to protect oneself from unsafe or repeated boundary violations. In our work together, we’ll focus on healing those core wounds, helping you feel safe enough to stay present in your body. We’ll move slowly, creating a shared, nurturing space where you can reconnect with your sensations and emotions without fear. I’ll guide you in addressing the deeper relationship within yourself, exploring what keeps you running from your truth, so you can gently reintegrate reality and find peace.
My approach is trauma-informed, intuitive, and tailored to your unique story. We’ll work on rebuilding your sense of safety, setting healthy boundaries, and honouring your sensitivity as a strength. As you begin to feel secure in your body, dissociation naturally starts to heal, allowing you to live more fully in the present, connected to your authentic self.
Start Your Healing Journey Today
You don’t have to stay disconnected or carry this alone. If you’re ready to heal from dissociation, reconnect with your body, and embrace your true self, I’m here to support you with warmth and care.
