Let me help you recognize and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of your goals. If you are seeking a private and relaxed setting where you can leave each session with practical skills and/or information that you can apply in your everyday life, then I am the counselor for you. I also offer quick turn around times for appointments and you will not have to wait in an overcrowded and loud waiting area prior to your appointment.

Our lives are made up of stories, stories we tell ourselves, believe about ourselves, and stories others tell us about who we are. But maybe your story is not the one you expected, wanted, or worked towards, and you find yourself stuck. It may be pain from the past or difficult situations in the present that are keeping you from moving forward in life. That’s where I can help.

You awaken most days with dread. The anxiety hits you immediately and you feel hopeless. You wonder how you're going to get through the day. These are familiar feelings, as this has been your experience for as long as you can remember. Despite being successful in your career, your relationships are suffering, and you don't know who you are. You are constantly feeling emotionally triggered and you're not sure why. The emotional distress is taking a toll on your health and well-being. You feel disconnected from yourself and others. You know it's time to do something different and put yourself first for a change.

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.
