Clients come to my practice with a basic need to resolve inner conflicts, mood swings and anxiety. Most of my clients are high-functioning adults who simply want support in finding answers. More individuals come for weekly or bi-monthly therapy sessions to learn mindfulness skills and attain self-awareness. In the process they become increasingly able to form stable relationships at home and at work. Clients who come to the practice are assured of being offered a secure space which is confidentiality compliant. They do find answers. They see change.

I believe that each one of us has an inbuilt potential to lead a happy life in all circumstances. But many times because of increased stress and tension in life (either due to workplace or family issues) we find it difficult to access that potential within and thus, we suffer from different health problems. My passion is to help individuals & couples come out of their problems & rediscover happiness in their life. From my personal experience of 8+ years, I can confidently say that taking help during the difficult times and using the psychological services can save an individual from many personal and professional problems.

How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioural therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behaviour therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioural, dialectical behaviour, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioural and dialectical behaviour therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom which may include antipsychotics, antidepressants, or anti-anxiety drugs.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
