Our Services

When an adolescent is struggling with deep emotional pain, anxiety, or depression, the entire family feels the impact. Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is a structured, evidence-based approach designed specifically to repair relational ruptures and rebuild trust between teens and their caregivers. Rather than just focusing on behavioral symptoms, we look at the root causes of disconnection.

 

ABFT creates a safe, emotion-focused environment where your teen can learn to articulate their vulnerabilities, and you can learn to respond with deep empathy and attunement. By healing past family conflicts, misunderstandings, or hidden trauma wounds, we transform your home into a "secure base". This protective foundation allows your teenager to face life's challenges with resilience, true autonomy, and a renewed sense of security.

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ group is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

 

Learning Objectives of the Group:

• Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read the emotional needs • Support your child’s ability to successfully manage emotions

• Enhance the development of your child's self esteem

• Honor your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure

 

The group is confidential and is capped at 4 individual participants to ensure that each participant has adequate time to process difficult emotions, identify challenging intergenerational patterns, and receive customized, therapeutic guidance and support. Groups meet weekly and are 90-minutes in length.

Group environments aren't the right fit for everyone. If you have experienced significant childhood trauma, or currently experience mental health challenges such as postpartum depression, individual COSP therapy offers a more intensive, private space.

 

We will walk through the Circle of Security framework together at your own pace. This individual focus allows us to gently untangle deeper trauma wounds, giving you the dedicated attention and specialized care needed to build a secure attachment with your teen.
