Dissociative Disorders therapists in Iowa

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.
