Dissociative Disorder Counseling in Colorado

Feeling disconnected from your body, your surroundings, or even your own sense of self can be frightening and disorienting. You shouldn't have to make sense of it alone. Overcomers Counseling offers trauma-informed counseling for dissociative disorders across Colorado Springs, Aurora, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, plus statewide teletherapy.

You Don't Have to Face This Alone

Dissociation is often the mind's way of coping with overwhelming stress or trauma, and it can leave people feeling confused, unsafe, or disconnected from their own experience. Whatever form it takes for you, our therapists provide a stable, trauma-informed space to understand what's happening and begin to feel more grounded.

Recognizing Dissociative Symptoms

Common experiences include feeling detached from your body or surroundings, memory gaps, a sense of unreality, or feeling like you're watching your life from outside yourself. These experiences are real and deserve to be taken seriously, not dismissed.

How Our Therapists Help

Our providers use trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR and grounding techniques, to help you process underlying trauma and build a stronger sense of safety and connection to the present moment. This work happens gradually, at a pace that respects your safety and readiness. For clients who want it, we offer faith-integrated counseling.

FAQs about Dissociative Disorders

Find the perfect specialist who gets you—and your needs—better than your favorite barista gets your coffee order.

What is the goal of counseling for dissociative disorders?

Dissociation can feel like watching your own life from a distance, like you're a passenger in a movie. The goal of counseling isn’t to erase these experiences but to help you reconnect with your body and your life. We provide a safe, supportive space for you to understand what is happening to you and to learn to manage the feelings that led to it. We believe you can find a sense of wholeness and safety, and we're here to help you get there.

How can counseling help with amnesia and flashbacks?

Living with amnesia and flashbacks can be terrifying. It's like your memories are a jumbled puzzle that you can’t quite put together, and then a piece of that puzzle suddenly appears without warning. Counseling helps you learn how to process these memories in a safe and structured way. We will work at your pace to help you develop the skills to stay present, manage overwhelming feelings, and ultimately integrate your experiences. You are not alone in this, and we will be there with you every step of the way.

Is it possible to integrate my identities with dissociative identity disorder (DID)?

Yes, integration is absolutely possible. Living with DID can feel like you have multiple people living inside you, all with their own needs and feelings. The goal of counseling is to help you find a sense of unity and inner harmony. We'll work with you to build a trusting relationship between all of your parts, helping you understand their purpose. Integration is about creating a sense of inner harmony so you can live a more peaceful and connected life.

How do I start the healing process for a dissociative disorder?

Starting the healing process can feel like a huge leap of faith, especially when you are living with a dissociative disorder. The first step is to find a professional you can trust, like finding a reliable guide to lead you on a difficult journey. We understand the unique complexities of this condition and we'll create a safe space for you to begin to explore your experiences without judgment. We believe in your capacity to heal and find a sense of peace.

Hilary Helkenn, PMHNP-BC
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hilary was lovely. She was kind, patient, incredibly knowledgeable and very validating. She had extensive knowledge of my conditions that most providers dismiss and it was very comforting and encouraging to hear she knew of those conditions and was well informed of them. Best psychiatrist I've had yet. 10/10
