Finding the therapist that fits your needs is daunting and courageous, and I would be honored to sit with you as your counselor. My clinical experience is centered on a broad definition of trauma and the effects it has on individuals, their bodies, their brains, interpersonal relationships, and their self worth and esteem. I have clinical experience with depression, anxiety, life transitions, & coping with this. I am certified in EMDR through EMDRIA, certified in DBT, and trained in Clinical Hypnosis. Grief & loss, self-esteem, attachment, emotions, mindfulness, polyvagal theory, and physical well-being are other focuses I utilize.

Welcome! I'm Kayla Block, owner of Spectrum of Growth Counseling. I love working with adults struggling with understanding their neurodivergent identity. Whether you identify as "on the spectrum" or "neuro-spicy", I love helping clients connect with themselves on a deeper level. I also enjoy working with adults struggling with symptoms related to trauma and dissociation. I find that combining EMDR and IFS parts work can be extremely helpful in getting to "deeper" issues that talk therapy may not adequately address.

You deserve support. That's my central focus in practice, many of us minimize our own distress by saying "other people have it worse" or "I should be grateful" without actually acknowledging that you are worth the time, energy, and investment. Trust me, even if you tell yourself it's not that bad, it won't change until you change it.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists

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 behavioral therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behavior 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 behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior 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 like aripiprazole, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines.

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.
