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
Babak Max Karimbeik
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Dissociation is a protective mechanism of the reptilian brain (brainstem) that can manifest in adaptive or maladaptive ways in
human beings. As your therapist, I will facilitate grounding using all available senses and experiences to bring you into
the here and now. The next step is exploring the adaptive and maladaptive ways you sever from the present
moment and in response to which cues or triggers. We will then learn how your internal system of parts operates in order to let it guide case conceptualization.

Tim Eby-McKenzie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Dissociation is the mind's defense against persistent or severe trauma and neglect. It is when a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories or sense of identity. This process is an amazing defense/survival mechanism, but it also leads to patterns that interfere with normal functioning. Ego-state work, combined with EMDR works to heal the profoundly painful impact of this type of trauma, and leads to significantly enhanced resilience and the ability to experience joy, love and belonging - both internally, and in relationships with others.
