Clinical Consultation for Therapists Working with Dissociation, DID, Complex Trauma & PTSD
Consultation for therapists in Utah and across the United States (virtual available)
You Care Deeply About Your Clients—But Some Cases Feel Beyond Traditional Training
You may be working with clients who:
Dissociate during sessions
Describe “parts” or identity shifts
Experience memory gaps or time loss
Become emotionally overwhelmed or shut down
Have complex trauma histories that feel difficult to navigate
Don’t seem to improve with traditional approaches
And you may find yourself wondering:
“Am I missing something?”
“How do I respond safely to dissociation?”
“What if I unintentionally make things worse?”
“How do I treat DID without overwhelming the client?”
“Why wasn’t I taught this in graduate school?”
You are not alone.
Most therapists receive little to no in-depth training in dissociation, DID, or complex trauma.

Consultation vs. Supervision: What’s the Difference?
One of the biggest misconceptions among therapists is that consultation and supervision are the same thing.
They actually are not.
Clinical Supervision
Supervision is:
Required for licensure
Evaluative in nature
Focused on legal, ethical, and competency development
Provided by an approved clinical supervisor
A supervisor has formal responsibility related to your licensure process and clinical oversight.
Clinical Consultation
Consultation is:
Collaborative and educational
Not evaluative
Focused on specialized knowledge and case conceptualization
Designed to support already-licensed therapists or clinicians-in-training wanting additional expertise
Consultation provides:
Clinical insight
Trauma-informed perspectives
Specialized dissociation education
Advanced treatment guidance
Without the evaluative role of supervision.
Why Therapists Seek Consultation for Dissociation & DID
Dissociation can be one of the most misunderstood areas of mental health treatment.
Many therapists were taught:
Very little about dissociation
Outdated information about DID
Fear-based misconceptions
Approaches that unintentionally destabilize clients
This often leaves clinicians feeling:
Overwhelmed
Unsure how to proceed
Afraid of “doing it wrong”
Isolated with difficult cases
Consultation changes that.

Recognize DID and dissociative symptoms
Work effectively with parts/systems
Increase stabilization and safety

Regulate the therapy room
Understand nervous system responses
Work with attachment wounds

Case Consultation

Ethical concerns
Stabilization strategies
Consultation That is Practical, Grounded, and Clinically Useful
This is not purely theoretical training.
The goal is helping you:
Feel more confident in session
Better understand what’s happening clinically
Know how to respond in real time
Work more effectively with complex trauma cases
A Non-Judgmental Space for Therapists
Many clinicians quietly carry fear or shame around dissociation cases:
“I don’t know enough.”
“I’m afraid I’ll miss something.”
“I feel out of my depth.”
That does not make you a bad therapist.
It means you care enough to seek deeper understanding.
Consultation is a place for curiosity, growth, and support—not judgment.
