Trauma-Related Dissociation Professional Overview

Evidence-Based Therapy for Adults Healing from Trauma-Related Dissociation


Provider Identification & Licensure

Dr. Natasha Ramsey, PSYD
Licensed Therapist – Georgia #LPC009127

Telehealth: Available for residents of Georgia
Client Age Range: Adults (18–99)

Specialty focus includes Somatic Symptom & Conversion Disorder


Primary Fit Anchor

I provide trauma-informed, neuroscience-informed psychotherapy for adults experiencing trauma-related dissociation, including depersonalization, derealization, emotional shutdown, memory gaps, or feeling disconnected from their body, emotions, or surroundings.

Strong Fit Contexts

Strong fit for individuals experiencing:

- dissociation, depersonalization, or derealization

- emotional numbness or shutdown

- memory gaps or losing track of time

- feeling disconnected during stress or conflict

- dissociation occurring alongside anxiety or depression

- trauma-related nervous system dysregulation

Clients often arrive feeling confused, isolated, or frightened by symptoms they don't yet understand as nervous system protective responses.


Not the Right Fit

This practice may not be appropriate for:

- acute psychiatric crisis

- active psychosis

- medical detox or withdrawal treatment

- situations requiring emergency or inpatient-level care

- untreated medical symptoms requiring urgent evaluation


Therapeutic Approach

Treatment is paced, collaborative, and grounded in nervous system safety. Approaches may include:
- psychoeducation about trauma and dissociation
- grounding and stabilization exercises
- somatic awareness
- trauma-informed psychotherapy
- mindfulness and present-moment awareness
- cognitive and emotional processing
- coping skills for overwhelm and shutdown
The goal is to help clients build safety, awareness, and regulation gradually, without forcing premature processing of trauma.

Strong Match Indicators

Clients are often a strong match when:

They report dissociation, depersonalization, or derealization

symptoms worsen with stress, conflict, or trauma reminders

They want to understand dissociation as a protective nervous system response, not a personal failing

They are open to grounding-based, paced trauma-informed work

They are not in crisis or in need of a higher level of care


Plain Language Summary

I help adults who feel disconnected, numb, or "checked out" because of trauma. Together, we help your nervous system feel safer so you can feel more present, connected, and grounded again.
