Many people come to counseling feeling hopeless, believing that their lives or relationships are past healing. However, as individuals learn to love themselves again and families and couples begin to turn towards each other and re-discover what holds them together, a powerful healing experience takes place and the promise of having a lasting, fulfilling life and relationships becomes reality. At RISE Therapy and Coaching, we have a passion for working with individuals, families, and couples, helping them heal from the life and relationship challenges they so often face.

You are worth the investment! Some studies suggest that over 80% of all physical symptoms may have emotional or psychological roots. Sometimes anxiety and depression are just our body's way of letting us know a change is needed. If your relationships or life situations are causing you more distress than joy, therapy can help. We all experience pain, loss, and feelings of rejection. Although these feelings are normal, if neglected they can quickly become barriers to happiness and growth.

Do you need hope that your life can improve? Are you having the same go no-where arguments with the ones you love? Are those arguments with yourself? I help clients feel hopeful as they discover greater satisfaction in their personal and sexual relationships. I can help you to find and use your strengths to get un-stuck. My work and training for last 17 years has focused on complex PTSD, attachment, neurobiology and addiction. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, a unique and evidenced based form of psychotherapy to treat trauma. If you have tried EMDR and found it minimally helpful, this may be a good approach for you.

Therapy is often mistaken as the last resort for people with serious struggles, but everyone experiences bouts of confusion, anxiety, sadness, fear, and grief. Many of us have experienced neglect, abuse, or trauma, and talking to a therapist can help create clarity about what to do next. Therapy may be the answer to making the life improvements that you need. If you feel depressed, alone, or lost, a therapist can often help guide you to find the strength and perseverance to improve your state of mind. My passions are in social justice. I believe everyone needs to be heard and understood in order for communities to thrive.

Struggling with chronic pain is devastating. It is exhausting and disheartening to continually look for answers and have those hopes crushed time and time again. Though it may seem too good to be true, Pain Reprocessing Therapy really can bring you relief. This works because pain is processed through warning signals sent to our brains. Pain can be extremely helpful when we’re actually in danger, but sometimes our brains get stuck in fear and learn to interpret safe sensations as dangerous. This causes our brains to send warning signals when there is no real threat.

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.
