Dissociative disorders — including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) — can cause disruptions in memory, identity, perception, and sense of self. These experiences are often rooted in trauma and can make daily life feel confusing or fragmented. At The Summit Counseling Center, we offer specialized, trauma-informed care to help you feel safe, whole, and empowered in your healing.

You may benefit from dissociative disorder counseling if you:
- Experience memory gaps or “lost time”
- Feel detached from your body, emotions, or surroundings
- Notice shifts in identity, mood, or behavior that feel unfamiliar
- Struggle with confusion about who you are
- Have difficulty trusting yourself or your experiences
