Dissociative Disorders
Alicia Polk
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC, LPC, BC-TMH, CCTP-II
Sometimes you may be worried you are “going crazy” or imagining things and other times, you wonder if you have DID. It’s very confusing and more than a little scary. I’m certified in treating complex trauma and I’ve been working with Dissociative Identity Disorder for 5 years now. I know you aren’t going crazy or imagining things. I will help you to understand what is going on and why it’s happening. I will help you build communication and cooperative relationships within your system.
My approach to working with DID is focus first on stabilization rather than memory work. This is because memory work done too early can further traumatize you. For this reason, I will not ask you lots of questions about the traumas you have experienced.
I offer a free 15-minute telehealth (video) consultation; this is a great way for you to get some of your questions answered and to see if you would feel comfortable working with me. See my website for more information about me and about my approach to treating DID.

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
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.
