Dissociation
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.

Siddharth Arora
Psychiatrist, DO, MS
Dissociative disorders can present with complex symptoms such as memory gaps, identity confusion, and emotional disconnection. Our practice focuses on carefully coordinated care, using medication management to target associated conditions like depression, anxiety, or PTSD. We work closely with referring therapists and care teams to support long-term stabilization and integration, always prioritizing safety and patient trust.

Dissociation
James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
I have had the privilege of long, deep work with many highly dissociative people. I have always found work on early adjustments to trauma to be freeing and empowering. This requires formation of a durable, powerful therapeutic alliance in which experiences previously too distressing or terrifying can be assimilated in new ways.

Dissociation
Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are different kinds of dissociative disorders. If you have DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder), then unfortunately I lack training in that area.
However, if you chronically are feeling dissociated, disconnected from your body and/or the present moment, and want to be able to be more in the here and now, I absolutely have training around that. Somatic Experiencing can be very effective at slowly and gently supporting your nervous system to move out of freeze (dissociation) and into a more vital, grounded headspace.
