Trauma & Attachment Therapy
Therapy for patterns shaped by trauma, attachment wounds, and relationships that taught you to disconnect from yourself.
Trauma Is Not Always an Event You Can Point To
Some people arrive with a clear memory of what happened. Many arrive with something harder to name: a childhood where material needs were met and emotional needs went unacknowledged, a relationship that left you doubting your own perception, or years of being the reliable one who did not need anything.
What brings people in is usually the present-day cost: constant self-criticism, difficulty tolerating closeness or distance, and the sense that you are performing a version of yourself. These are adaptations, and they made sense in the environment that produced them.
The patterns you’re trying to change often developed for a reason. Understanding what they once helped you navigate can open the door to creating something different.
Common Conditions We Treat
Our Approach
Trauma that formed over years reaches the body, beliefs, and relationships at once. For example, Somatic Therapy addresses responses that activate faster than thought, while relational and emotion-focused work explores how early relationships shaped expectations and self-worth.
What Can Change
Understand patterns that have felt permanent
Reduce harsh internal self-criticism
Build closeness without losing yourself
Interrupt repeating relational dynamics
Develop a steadier relationship with your emotions

Integrative Care, Rooted in Empathy
Whatever brought you here, our clinicians hold the medical and emotional together rather than treating them as separate problems. If you are unsure which specialty fits, a consultation is a good place to sort that out.
