Hi! My name is Carma. I have the requisite clinical degrees, trainings and certifications, but more importantly, I know what it is like to survive trauma. Hence, my clinical approach to therapy has a different spin: it's rooted in peer therapy.
Peer counseling means I'm not using sessions to process my "stuff". Rather, the peer-lived experience offers a way to resonate with the clinical knowledge I share. I use carefully chosen stories of trauma healing journeys, along with standard therapeutic interventions, as ways to engage with clients. I have additional peers on my team.

Waitlisting except for new Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy clients. I'm a master therapist and EMDRIA-approved therapist specializing in KAP, complex trauma, and attachment wounds. KAP uses expanded states of awareness for deep healing, emotional release, and integration — helping clients see how trauma, conditioning, and dissociative survival patterns have shaped disconnection from their true nature. I guide people back to who they are at their core: awake, kind, and free. My work draws from EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, Buddhist psychology, ACT, and contemplative practice. I also train therapists in these integrative models.

I believe that each person holds within themselves everything they need to heal and grow in the ways they would like. I see the therapist's role as being one in which provides an environment of safety and care where the client can explore themselves authentically. It is through this authentic exploration, that the therapist can help the client discover how patterns and ways of being are keeping the client stuck and resulting in suffering. By bringing into awareness these aspects, the client and therapist can then work collaboratively to release the pain and explore new ways of being.

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.
