About CommuniDID
As a therapist who works with clients living with DID and OSDD, I have seen how difficult it can be to find knowledgeable help. While I can’t provide therapy to everyone, I can provide information that people can use to better understand their experiences and support their own healing.
CommuniDID is a safe and accepting place where DID is not viewed as a mental illness, but as a sophisticated adaptation to overwhelming early circumstances. One of the central goals of this site is to help people understand why DID works the way it does and how adaptive it was when it first developed. The free membership is where I can interact directly with people, answering questions and providing practical information about implementing strategies for healing and recovery.
Over time, it is my hope that CommuniDID may grow into an online space where people can learn from one another and offer support within a respectful and informed community.

Want to Work With Me?
I provide virtual psychotherapy to adults located in Kansas and Missouri. Because I am licensed to practice in only those two states, I am unable to provide therapy to people located elsewhere.
