Therapy for Trauma and Dissociation

Long Beach, CA

If you’re seeking help to heal from trauma and dissociation, you’ve come to the right place.

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed clinical psychologist offering virtual therapy sessions across the state of California.

After trauma, you may wonder if you will ever feel the same again. Common experiences include:

  • Feeling lost.

  • Confusion about who you are, or feeling like someone else.

  • Feeling anxious and on edge.

  • Feeling numb and detached.

  • Finding it difficult to connect with others, and being wary about who you can trust.

  • Feeling as though your emotions are out of control.

  • Becoming overwhelmed by anger, sadness, or guilt.

  • Using distraction to avoid painful thoughts and feelings.

  • Taking extra precautions to feel safe.

  • Noticing your world becoming smaller.

  • Yearning to feel better, but also fearing what healing might look like, and questioning whether it is even possible for you.

If any of these experiences resonate with you, I am here to help. I provide individual psychotherapy sessions to adults (18+) who wish to work through the impact that stressful experiences, interpersonal injury, and trauma have had on their lives, including those with histories of chronic, complex trauma, childhood trauma, and current dissociative symptoms. I work with those who wish to gain a deeper understanding of their current identity, and heal wounds, old and new. My stance is warm and heartful, and I take an integrative approach to treatment. I utilize evidence-based therapies to flexibly meet each person’s unique needs.

I specialize in the treatment of:

  • Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

  • Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)

  • Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

  • Other Specified Dissociative Disorder (OSDD)

How therapy can help

Build inner safety, trust, and self-acceptance in private and supportive sessions.

Throughout our work together, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and shift what is keeping you stuck in a place of suffering. You’ll learn how to feel more grounded, embody your most authentic self, and feel safe in loving relationships. You’ll find increased freedom to move about the world with ease and confidence. You’ll practice being kinder to yourself, and grow the belief that you are truly deserving of that kindness. If these aims currently feel far away, know that you are not alone, and I’d like to accompany you on this journey. No matter how far away the life you desire feels, I believe we can get there together. And in fact, just by being here, you’ve already taken the first step.

To provide you with a confidential, one-on-one space to ask questions and see whether we might be a good fit to work together, I offer a free 20-minute consultation that you can schedule by clicking the link below.

I hope to connect with you soon.

Warmly,

Dr. Consla
