Dissociative Disorders
Gibson & Associates: Psychotherapy, Counselling + Consulting
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Do you have difficulty staying the present? This may feel like parts of you are pulling you away from what is happening now or memories of the past. This can feel like avoiding, losing time, becoming distracted, or worst- completely blacking out. This happens when our system is overwhelmed by stress caused by current or past triggers and our survival instinct kicks in that creates distance from these feelings. It can be both a relief and a scary experience. We work with dissociation by getting to know why it is happening, what parts are seeking to distance, and provide resources and connection to working with those parts to increase their safety. Please contact us to begin this work and schedule your first appointment.

Dissociative Disorders
Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Dissociation is a behaviour that is automatic and can be incredibly frustrating; one can feel betrayed by their own body, frustrated by the behaviour occurring, and confused as to what triggers it or why it happens in the first place. When I work with clients with dissociation issues, it is imperative to understand why the brain would cause us to dissociate, and how we can retrain the brain to eliminate this very problematic behaviour altogether.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Dissociation is an incredible tool that our body and minds have learned to utilize in extremely distressing situations. A coping strategy that was helpful once, often may not be in 10, 20, 30 etc years. Unfortunately, coping strategies don't develop in the linear ways that human beings are expected too. Despite the traumatic events that may have caused dissociation, humans do have more access and resources available to them in adulthood. These extra resources can mean learning and implementing more helpful strategies that align with who you are present day. It is my greatest honor to work with humans with these magnificent coping strategies. While we learn new strategies, we will work to integrate the fragmented parts into the whole being that you are.

Dissociative Disorders
Joshua Lewis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CT
Often an adaptive response to traumatic experiences, we might unconsciously dissociate in order to cope with the overwhelming impacts. My trauma-informed approach to working with dissociative states involves a phased approach toward healing that seeks to sensitively and safely reconnect us to our bodies, foster reintegration between the mind and body and restore a sense of agency, resiliency and emotional strength.

Dissociative Disorders
Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, RCT, RCC, CCC, ATR-P
At Clayre Sessoms Psychotherapy, we specialize in providing compassionate support for individuals facing Dissociative Disorders. We approach dissociation from a non-pathologizing perspective, recognizing it as a natural response to overwhelming experiences, particularly in the context of trauma. As a senior facilitator of Trauma-Informed Stabilization Treatment, Clayre leads our team in offering trauma-informed care that focuses on stabilization and healing.
Our therapeutic approach is rooted in creating a safe and validating space where clients can explore their dissociative experiences without judgment. We understand that dissociation can serve as a survival mechanism in response to trauma, and our goal is to help individuals navigate through these experiences with compassion and understanding.
Through trauma-informed techniques and somatic interventions, we guide clients in building a sense of safety, grounding, and connection to their bodies. By fostering a deep understanding of how trauma impacts the mind and body, we support individuals in developing coping strategies, enhancing emotional regulation, and promoting integration of fragmented parts of self.
Our commitment to non-pathologizing care means that we view dissociation as a natural response to adversity, rather than a pathology. We work with clients to help them reclaim agency, cultivate self-compassion, and foster a more cohesive sense of self. By empowering individuals to explore their experiences in a supportive and trauma-informed environment, we aim to facilitate healing, resilience, and a renewed sense of wholeness.
We believe in providing trauma-informed support for individuals with Dissociative Disorders, honoring their experiences, and guiding them on a transformative journey towards self-discovery, healing, and empowerment.

Angela Turner
Registered Psychotherapist, Masters of Counselling, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Trauma can cause the body to use extreme measures to survive. Dissociation is on a continuum and we all use it to survive, but when an overwhelming experience or a group of experiences force us to extreme measures of survival, Disordered Dissociation can be the closest option for enduring. During session, we work on finding the why of dissociation as well as building tools to lay the ground work for new ways of coping.

Ariana N. Zeppieri-Makhan
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
Through my work with trauma survivors, I have come to work with the dissociative disorders. With a constant eye to safety and grounding, I have guided clients through reflective and experiential exercises to explore their understanding of their experiences and ways in which they may cope or overcome their perceptual challenges.
Since my undergraduate degree, I have been motivated to work with individuals experiencing dissociative disorders. I read a number of first-person accounts, as well as articles, and watched countless interviews with afflicted individuals, expert professionals, and close others in the early days of this pursuit. I continue to read what I can and gain insight from those afflicted, where possible.
