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.

Nefertiti Nowell
Therapist, Dr.
Seeking help is a powerful step to improving your quality of life. Talking to someone about whatever your concerns are is something that almost anyone can benefit from, but many people are afraid to reach out. If you are considering therapy or coaching, I applaud you, and I really do want to help you find what you need to feel POWERFUL and help you develop the tools to have peace in your life.
I enjoy working with diverse clients, and have treated patients on the inpatient as well as outpatient basis. I began providing therapy in 1996, and have worked full time in several local hospitals before deciding to work full time in outpatient private practice. Though I work with many populations, I enjoy helping individuals with issues of trauma as well as working with couples. I work with all age ranges and have helped clients with a range of diagnosis. I use a variety of techniques, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. I am also a Certified Hypnotist and a trained mediator.

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.
