The Self being a whole is a myth. We are all fragmented, we all have many selves.

Sierra Gaudreault
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Dissociation is a natural and protective response when our nervous system is dysregulated. However, sometimes dissociation can create challenges when we or others are unsure what's happening or how to respond to it in helpful ways. I use a nonjudgemental and dissociation-affirming approach to help you understand your dissociation, honour the ways your body has kept and continues to keep you safe, and build a grounding toolkit that actually works for you. I also offer trauma therapy to help you heal from experiences that may be keeping you trapped in this survival response.

At Therapedia Centre, we offer psychotherapy for dissociative disorders in Toronto, North York, East York, and Yorkville, providing a trauma-informed and compassionate approach to care. Our therapists help clients who experience detachment, memory gaps, or a disrupted sense of identity develop grounding skills and reconnect with their emotions and body. Using approaches such as Trauma-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Art Therapy, we create a safe environment for integration and self-understanding. Art-making can help express experiences that feel fragmented or hard to verbalize, supporting emotional processing and empowerment. Our goal is to help clients regain stability, strengthen self-awareness, and rebuild a sense of safety and wholeness.

In the face of traumatic experiences, we dissociate to cope with those experiences. Healing your dissociations involves healing your trauma and restoring you to your full personhood free from the memory fragments, compartmentalization and physical tension that you experience.

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.

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.

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.

Natalie V. Bochenska
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCAT, Certified Somatic Practitioner
Dissociation can feel like disconnecting from your emotions, body, memories, or sense of self, often as a way of coping with overwhelming experiences. I use a gentle, trauma-informed approach that incorporates somatic awareness and parts work to help you understand these protective responses without forcing difficult experiences to surface. Our work emphasizes safety, stabilization, and gradually developing a greater sense of connection with yourself.

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.
