Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists in Charlotte, NC
No two therapeutic journeys are alike. They reflect the unique interactions of the individuals involved in the process. Therapist and patient enter into a relationship through which, when things go well, "more" becomes possible: more life, more love, more play, more feelings, more thought, more choice, more reflection.
Specializing in work with adult survivors of childhood & adolescent sexual abuse, I combine psychodynamic, developmental, and trauma perspectives. The past can truly become past and the present freed to become reflective of the genuine talents, hopes, yearnings of the person with whom I journey.

While a generalist psychologist, I get many referrals for my specialties---couples work, post-traumatic stress issues, dissociative issues, and the substance abuse that often accompanies these issues.

I believe that we all have the capacity for healing, though this can be a daunting task for individuals who have survived significant trauma. Many clients I work with have tried various therapies before, but feel like they can't shift longstanding patterns. I also often work with clients who are interested in exploring deeper trauma work. Whatever the case may be for you, I am here to help you identify and work towards your goals. I am adaptable and open to therapeutic approaches that work for you. I enjoy weaving in somatic and creative approaches. We might be a good fit if you value humor and playfulness alongside the deeper work.

I help people who feel stuck see what is true so they can take the action that sets them free. Sometimes we are afraid to admit that the answer to change lies within ourselves, rather than being dependent on changes in other people.
What most helps is a sense of complete ownership of what's happening in our life, not as blame or self-recrimination - and not to excuse anyone else's behavior - but as a powerful step to change what we can change!
The false belief that keeps us stuck is that we are powerless to change our emotions, responses, or circumstances. I will help you.

Dissociative Disorders (DID) Therapists
How does therapy for dissociative disorders work?
Dissociation may be triggered by stress or other upsetting circumstances, and therapy can address the traumatic events at the core of an individual’s dissociation. Understanding why a person may dissociate can help the therapist and the individual come up with alternative methods of coping. A person with a dissociative disorder may get stuck on negative thinking, for example, and treatment like Cognitive behavioral therapy is a gold standard for breaking such thinking. And dialectical behavior therapy, for example, can help a person manage their anguish through better emotion regulation.
Which therapies are best for dissociative disorders?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, schema therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful memories and past traumas. These therapies work to integrate an individual's different identities into one person.
Are there specific medications for dissociation?
There are no specific medications prescribed for dissociative disorders. However, psychosis, depression, anxiety, and/or panic often co-occur in dissociative disorders. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for any accompanying symptom—which may include antipsychotics like aripiprazole, antidepressants like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or anti-anxiety drugs like benzodiazepines.
How often and how long are therapy sessions?
Like any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. There are still other patients, especially those who have co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, who may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months.
