Dissociative Disorders
Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
Dissociative disorders are a complex group of conditions characterized by a disconnection between thoughts, identity, consciousness, and memory. As someone providing support to individuals with dissociative disorders, I offer a safe and validating space for them to explore their experiences and symptoms. Through therapy, we work together to understand the underlying causes of their dissociation, which may include trauma, stress, or other psychological factors. I provide education about dissociation and its effects, helping patients develop coping strategies to manage dissociative episodes and increase awareness of their triggers. Additionally, I work with patients to strengthen their sense of self, enhance grounding techniques, and promote the integration of dissociative parts. My goal is to empower patients to regain a sense of control over their lives, improve their overall well-being, and foster greater connection and coherence in their identity and experiences.

Dissociative Disorders
Nancy Hayes-Gary, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, MD , Psy.D.
Grounding, soothing, and leaning to separate out past trauma from present reality helps decrease dissociation. I also approach this with some of the approaches I’ve already mentioned. People who dissociate are often plagued with past thoughts or memories of a very difficult time. Exploring childhood patterns of family interactions gives one a key to understanding their dissociation as a trauma response. Also essential is the learning of other trauma responses that don’t come with the down sides of dissociating, like memory problems or depersonalization/derealization anxiety.

Dissociative Disorders
Stephanie Ennen
Therapist, LPC,LCPC, LMHC
I specialize in providing therapeutic support for individuals experiencing dissociative disorders. I understand that these conditions can manifest in various ways—such as memory disruptions, detachment from reality, or a fragmented sense of self—often as a response to trauma or overwhelming stress.
In our sessions, we will work together to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your experiences without judgment. Using Trauma-Informed Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we will focus on understanding the root causes of your dissociation and develop strategies to help you ground yourself in the present moment.
I incorporate mindfulness techniques and body-centered practices to help you reconnect with your body and emotions. These approaches can assist in reducing feelings of dissociation and promoting a sense of safety and stability.
A crucial part of our work will involve psychoeducation, providing you with insights into dissociative disorders and their connection to trauma. Understanding these dynamics can empower you to navigate your experiences more effectively and foster healing.
Together, we will develop a personalized plan that includes coping strategies, self-care practices, and tools to manage triggers. My goal is to support you in reclaiming your sense of self and fostering a more integrated and fulfilling life.
