Dissociation
Bhavna Lalwani
Registered Psychotherapist, MA Counselling, RP
Dissociation can be a way the mind copes with overwhelming trauma, including experiences like childhood abuse, domestic violence, or other forms of severe stress. You might notice feeling disconnected from your thoughts, emotions, or even your body, sometimes experiencing memory gaps, “zoning out,” or feeling like an observer in your own life.
In therapy, I provide a safe and grounding space to explore these experiences, understand the connection between trauma and dissociation, and develop strategies to feel more present, integrated, and in control. The goal is to help you reconnect with yourself and reclaim a sense of safety, stability, and self-trust.

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
Mariya Garnet
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist ( Qualifying)
Dissociation is one of the body's most intelligent responses to overwhelming experience. It can look like spacing out, feeling unreal, losing time, or living at a distance from your own life. Many people do not recognize it because it has been their normal for so long. I work somatically and gently to help you rebuild connection to your body and your present experience, at a pace your nervous system can actually tolerate. We do not force contact. We create the conditions for it to return.

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
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Dissociation is a behaviour that is automatic and can be incredibly frustrating; one can feel betrayed by their own body, frustrated by the behaviour occurring, and confused as to what triggers it or why it happens in the first place. When I work with clients with dissociation issues, it is imperative to understand why the brain would cause us to dissociate, and how we can retrain the brain to eliminate this very problematic behaviour altogether.

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. Let’s create a safe space to rediscover your strength and wholeness. Book a consultation with me today, and let’s take that first step together.

Dissociation
Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Through my work with trauma survivors, I have come to work with the dissociative disorders. With a constant eye to safety and grounding, I have guided clients through reflective and experiential exercises to explore their understanding of their experiences and ways in which they may cope or overcome their perceptual challenges.
Since my undergraduate degree, I have been motivated to work with individuals experiencing dissociative disorders. I read a number of first-person accounts, as well as articles, and watched countless interviews with afflicted individuals, expert professionals, and close others in the early days of this pursuit. I continue to read what I can and gain insight from those afflicted, where possible.
