In un batter d'occhio, il mondo è cambiato dall'oggi al domani. Potresti avere problemi di insonnia o stati d'animo che ti turbano e che danneggiano le tue relazioni intime, familiari e tra pari. I recenti cambiamenti nella società e la tua situazione di vita possono aver innescato le transizioni della vita che hanno gravemente allungato la tua capacità di far fronte. Potresti sentirti bloccato in un ciclo ripetitivo, facendo gli stessi errori ripetutamente senza capire perché e sentendoti impotente per apportare cambiamenti produttivi e positivi.

Out-of-Network! I primarily use psychodynamic, systemic, experiential and culturally sensitive approaches to accompany the client throughout the journey of self discovery. With emphasis on awareness and insight, I encourage individuals and couples to seek solutions that resonate with their individual and relational needs. The struggle to overcome adverse experiences, can be a product of sociocultural system, family context, early attachment and relationships which reflect a stigmatized idea of self.

Sometimes, even after we have achieved some of life’s major milestones, we can still wrestle with uncomfortable emotions; feelings of listlessness or the slight ache that something is missing. It may seem as if the world on the outside we have worked so hard to construct isn’t quite what it seems or brings us the happiness we hoped. The gap between what we feel and what we think we should feel can grow. We may experience feelings of self-doubt, shame, loneliness, and notice our relationships have begun to suffer. Where we once shined at work, feelings of boredom, impostor syndrome, or insecurity may plague us. Confusion sets in.

Attachment-based Therapists

Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?

Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.

What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?

Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.

How long does attachment-based therapy last?

Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.

Does attachment-based therapy work?

Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
