About Us: Louisville Dissociative Disorder Therapy
Our Journey
Louisville Dissociative Disorder Therapy (LDDT) was founded in 2017 with a vision to become a leading online resource for understanding and navigating dissociative disorder. The site’s creation stemmed from a personal journey of discovery and healing, where the founders recognized a critical gap in accessible and reliable information about this often-misunderstood condition.
Over the years, LDDT has evolved from a simple blog to a comprehensive news website dedicated to shedding light on dissociative disorders and supporting those affected by them. We take pride in our consistent growth and the impact we’ve made in the online mental health space.
Our Purpose and Mission
Our mission is to empower individuals living with dissociative disorders and their loved ones by providing accurate, unbiased, and compassionate information. LDDT aims to bridge the information divide by offering a trusted platform that educates, supports, and fosters understanding of this complex subject matter.
Core Values:
- Accuracy: We strive for excellence in delivering factual and up-to-date content.
- Unbiased Information: Our articles reflect diverse perspectives without promoting any particular therapy or approach.
- Supportive Community: LDDT aims to create a safe space where individuals can share their experiences and find solace.
- Reliability: We ensure every piece of information is sourced, verified, and fact-checked for credibility.
Filling the Information Void
Dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), have long been surrounded by myths and misinformation. LDDT was born out of a need to provide a reliable resource that separates fact from fiction, offers practical insights, and shares personal narratives to foster understanding and empathy. We believe everyone deserves access to accurate information regarding their mental health.

LDDT is dedicated to serving individuals affected by dissociative disorders, their families, friends, and advocates. We understand the challenges of navigating this journey and strive to provide support through our content. Our audience includes:
- People diagnosed with dissociative disorders seeking information and resources.
- Loved ones looking for guidance on how to support a friend or family member.
- Mental health professionals interested in expanding their knowledge about DID.
- Students and researchers studying psychology, psychiatry, or social work.
We encourage engagement through comments, personal stories, and feedback, fostering an online community of support and understanding. Our team welcomes your input and aims to create a safe, respectful dialogue.
