I work with adults navigating complex trauma, dissociation, treatment-resistant depression, and chronic nervous system dysregulation. My approach integrates Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, EMDR, Ego State Therapy (parts work), Clinical Hypnosis, and polyvagal-informed somatic and experiential therapies. If providers have overlooked your inner depth and you’re tired of masking, misunderstood, or chronically bracing, this work is for you. Together, we build nervous-system safety and move into structured trauma reprocessing that supports deep, lasting integration.
I'm Aline Bales, DNP, PMHNP-BC. Your brain is my special interest. With specialized training, I treat Complex-PTSD, dissociation, ADHD/Autism + trauma, and dual-diagnoses with an integrative approach. I blend bottom-up regulation with insight, meds if needed, and reprocessing for safety and change.
Sessions are 65 min and can be intense, yet collaborative, and a blend of exploring chaos trends and compassionate guidance, yield space for your parts to find peace. Clients say “I feel seen,” or “you get me”. With longer sessions and no rushing, hope exists! If you feel ready to explore your unmet parts, let’s dive in: The universe speaks, let’s listen.

I work with adults experiencing complex trauma, dissociation, treatment-resistant depression, and nervous system dysregulation. This includes individuals who feel stuck despite prior therapy, struggle with emotional overwhelm or internal fragmentation, or live with ADHD or autism alongside trauma. My focus is depth-oriented, trauma-informed healing rather than symptom management alone.
