Dissociative disorders can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, your memories, or the world around you. These experiences can be unsettling, confusing, and isolating — especially when they’re rooted in past trauma. At Mindwell Associates, we understand how disruptive dissociation can be, and we’re here to help you find clarity, connection, and relief.
Our fully virtual model enables clients across New Jersey and Pennsylvania to receive expert, trauma-informed care from the comfort and privacy of their own homes. With a collaborative team of therapists and psychiatric providers, we tailor each treatment plan to meet your emotional and psychological needs.
What Are Dissociative Disorders?
Dissociative disorders often emerge in response to overwhelming life events. Disruptions in memory, identity, awareness, or perception characterize these conditions. While they are commonly linked to trauma experienced during childhood, dissociation can also develop after events like:
Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse.
Combat or war trauma.
Severe illness or invasive medical treatment.
Natural disasters or accidents.
Ongoing emotional neglect or unsafe environments.
Our therapists are skilled in recognizing the diverse ways dissociation can show up and are trained to provide care that is sensitive, validating, and empowering.
Types of Dissociative Disorders We Treat
Dissociation can take many forms. We treat a range of conditions, including:
Dissociative Amnesia: Memory loss related to trauma or specific events.
Dissociative Fugue: Sudden loss of identity, sometimes with travel or withdrawal.
Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID): Formerly called multiple personality disorder, this condition involves two or more distinct identities.
Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder: Feeling detached from your body or surroundings, like you’re observing life from the outside.
Our goal is to help you identify the specific form of dissociation you’re experiencing, so we can provide the most effective and compassionate treatment possible.
Recognizing the Signs of Dissociation
If you’re struggling with a dissociative disorder, you may experience symptoms such as:
Memory gaps or time loss.
Emotional numbness or detachment.
A blurred or shifting sense of identity.
Anxiety, depression, or chronic fatigue.
Feeling like your surroundings are unreal or dreamlike.
You don’t need to have all these symptoms to benefit from treatment. If you’re questioning your experiences or feeling unsure how to describe them, we can help.
