Dissociative Disorders
Growth and Change Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Sometimes in life, an experience so traumatic happens that my psyche splits and cuts off part of myself in order to protect myself from what happened. It was a defensive mechanism at the time of the trauma to protect me from my incapacity to process it, but now its also created a situation where part of me is cut off from the other part of me. If I stay this way, I remain stuck in a fragmented or wounded place psychologically. The reality is we all want to be whole and part of healing may involve a process of reintegrating all the parts of myself with each other. If you think you may be dissociating, call us. We would come alongside you to help you.

Helen Star, MFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, SEP
Trauma can live in the body unaddressed for a lifetime. It impacts every aspect of the person’s experience, from health concerns to psychological instability to insecurities in achieving life goals. Working through trauma is the single most important piece in establishing a more harmonious life perspective. Adults often can’t identify the source of their anxieties because it is buried in childhood experience. Or, they know the source, but addressing the impact of trauma has been elusive.
Whether you identify a single traumatic experience in your life or you experience the result through a highly strung nervous system, trauma can be addressed through working with the sensations of the body.
I was originally trained in Somatic Psychotherapy and have over 25 years of working with the language of the body. This is done through mindful observation of the body’s experience in the here and now and through expressive art and movement therapy as well as talking through the event itself. The resolution comes from a place of self-love and resiliency is built by building support in one’s life.

Dissociative Disorders
Sabrina Gramatica
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
In my work with dissociative disorders, I recognize that these conditions are often rooted in trauma, where dissociation becomes a coping mechanism for overwhelming or unbearable experiences. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, understanding that dissociation serves as a protective response when the mind struggles to integrate distressing memories or emotions. Using modalities like parts work (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and somatic approaches, I help clients reconnect with fragmented aspects of themselves in a safe, gradual manner. Through this process, we work to rebuild a cohesive sense of self, integrate traumatic memories, and restore emotional regulation, empowering clients to move toward healing and wholeness.
