I work with couples and parents struggling to connect with their partner, siblings, parents, colleagues, and children. I have a particular communication model that cultivates a stronger connection to those that matter most to you. I will show you exactly what you're doing that's creating tension and arguments in your relationships. I'll then show you a better approach that formulates a stronger, more intense bond. Instead of arguing, being stressed, and anxious there's better understanding as you not only learn how to speak better but also how to listen better as well.

As a couple who no longer can communicate or connect, you often find yourself wondering how did this relationship get to this point. You are hurt, lonely, and more importantly scared of what is next. Every conversation ends up in a fight and more disconnect and confusion follows, bringing a sense of hopelessness and frustration. You both may still love each other and feel really bad for where you are, but nothing seems to work anymore. You never imagined your relationship to look like this, both of you are smart, hard-working, kind and caring individuals - where did this go wrong?

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.
