Dissociative Disorders
Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Dissociation often goes hand-in-hand with stress, trauma, and other forms of emotional overwhelm. While the spectrum of dissociation ranges from zoning out to complete shut-down, it can create invisible barriers between you and your goals. If you're feeling stuck, confused about why your best efforts in life aren't as satisfying, or have tried therapy without success then don't hesitate to reach out. In working together, we would use EMDR and Internal Family Systems interventions to identify the areas where you're finding those barriers and build the resources, skills, and regulation to be able to achieve those goals without losing yourself along the way.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach dissociative disorders with a compassionate and holistic perspective, integrating psychological principles with Christian values. Recognizing the complexities of dissociation and its impact on an individual's sense of self, I draw upon biblical teachings on identity, healing, and restoration. Establishing a safe and trusting therapeutic alliance, I help clients explore the underlying factors contributing to dissociation while incorporating prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on faith into the therapeutic process. Emphasizing the importance of grounding in one's spiritual identity, I collaborate with clients to integrate their faith into coping mechanisms and strategies for managing dissociative symptoms. This approach seeks to address the spiritual, emotional, and psychological dimensions of dissociative disorders, guiding individuals towards healing and a renewed sense of wholeness within the context of their Christian beliefs.

When people experience trauma, the mind has a wonderful way of protecting us from the pain that sometimes comes at the service of disconnecting from ourselves.
