Attachment-Based Therapy for Adults

Therapy for Adults Healing from
Childhood Trauma and Complex
Emotional Wounds

Are you feeling stuck—anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward? Perhaps you carry pain from your past that affects your present relationships, work, or parenting. Or maybe you simply long for more clarity, confidence, and connection with yourself.

Healing means creating new ways of relating—to yourself, others, and the world—that bring you safety, understanding, and growth.

Understanding Early Experiences and Their Impact

Many of the challenges adults face—chronic anxiety, self-doubt, emotional numbness, difficulty trusting or connecting—are often rooted in early life experiences or complex trauma. These can shape how you:

  • Relate to others and yourself
  • Manage emotions and stress
  • Make decisions and set boundaries
  • Build confidence and a sense of safety

Our therapeutic work focuses on exploring and healing these deeper roots to support meaningful change.

How Therapy Can Support You

You might be seeking therapy because you:

 

  • Feel overwhelmed by anxiety, chronic worry, or panic attacks
  • Struggle with self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or difficulty making confident decisions
  • Experience low self-worth or feel like you haven’t fully “shown up” in your own life
  • Want to process trauma—physical, emotional, relational—that has shaped your life
  • Desire greater self-awareness to improve relationships, parenting, or work performance
  • Wish to explore and heal the impact of early caregiver relationships on your current patterns
  • Want to break generational cycles before or while being a parent
  • Need support processing birth trauma or the experience of having a baby in the NICU

Our Trauma-Informed, Brain-Based Therapeutic Approach

Healing is not about “fixing” you. It’s about supporting your nervous system and mind to feel safe, grounded, and connected. We use a range of evidence-based, compassionate modalities tailored to your unique needs:

Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Helps you become aware of thoughts and behaviors that impact your emotions and relationships, with a trauma-sensitive
approach.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

Supports processing and integrating traumatic memories and stuck emotional
responses.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Encourages mindfulness and values-driven living to move beyond struggle and build resilience.

Inner Child Work

Gently connects you to younger parts of yourself that carry unmet needs or pain, fostering healing and self-compassion.

Sandtray Therapy

Offers a creative, nonverbal way to explore emotions and experiences by building scenes with miniature figures, supporting trauma healing and self-discovery beyond words.

Somatic Therapy

Regulates the nervous system and releases trauma held in the body beyond words.

Healing That Honors Neuroplasticity and Growth

Your brain is always capable of change. Therapy creates new relational and emotional experiences that help your brain:

  • Regulate stress more effectively
  • Feel safe in connection with yourself and others
  • Move beyond survival patterns
  • Develop balanced ways of thinking, feeling, and responding

This process is felt in your body, mind, and relationships—helping you live with greater emotional freedom and authenticity.
