Therapy for Teens and Adolescents
Attachment Issues
Attachment refers to the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that arise in our relationships, particularly in our most intimate relationships. In a modern society, we have not always been supported in developing an attachment pattern that allows for healthy connection.

Regardless of where you find yourself along the spectrum of attachment patterns, working with a therapist who truly understands these interpersonal dynamics can allow for greater personal growth and security in current or future relationships. Whether you're looking to improve an existing relationship or establish a new one, our mental health providers will support you in session to develop and refine the skills needed out of session.
