Trauma & Attachment Focused Therapy
serving Center City, Philadelphia and online across PA
For the ones trying to love better than they were shown.
Real healing starts when you stop pretending “it’s fine”
You’ve done a lot already. You’re thoughtful, reflective, trying to do things differently.
But your reactions still feel bigger than they “should.”
You freeze when someone reaches for you.
You shut down, lash out, or fall apart—then wonder why.
It’s not because you’re failing.
It’s because your body remembers what it once took to stay safe.
That’s attachment—not just a concept, but something you feel in your chest, your jaw, your gut.
Healing starts when you don’t have to manage it alone.
When someone helps you stay with the parts you’ve always rushed past.
Who we help:
Children who speak in play, not words
Parents trying to give what they never got
Adults trying to heal what’s still hurting
We work with children…
who don’t have the words yet—but whose bodies are speaking through tantrums, outbursts, anxiety, or shutting down. They’re not “bad” or “too much.” They’re scared, overwhelmed, and doing their best to feel safe in a world that doesn’t always make sense.
We work with parents…
who love their kids deeply, but still find themselves snapping, shutting down, or saying things they swore they never would. Not because they don’t care—but because no one ever showed them what comfort looks like when you’re the one falling apart.
We work with adults…
who’ve spent years holding it all together—at work, in relationships, in their families. They know their patterns didn’t come from nowhere, and they’re ready to stop performing and start healing. Slowly. Carefully. With someone who won’t turn away.
We work with what’s unspoken.
You can understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them.
That’s because the parts of you that learned to shut down, perform, or pull away don’t shift just by being named. They shift when someone helps you stay—with what’s hard to feel, with what’s never been welcomed.
We notice the things others might miss. The quick smile after something painful. The “I’m fine” that doesn’t match your body. We don’t push past those moments. We stay with them—gently, carefully—because that’s where real change begins.
Your reactions make sense. Your defenses were learned. We don’t try to fix them—we get curious about what they’re protecting. And we stay, even when you want to run.
This isn’t surface work. It’s the kind that slowly shifts how you respond to your child’s tears, your partner’s reach, your own needs. Not perfectly. But with presence. With choice. With a little more softness than before.
This isn’t symptom management. It’s emotional transformation.
What you learned about love still lives in you, whether you're raising kids or healing your inner one
The way we show up in relationships—how we care, how we protect ourselves, how close we let people get—is shaped early. And those patterns don’t just fade. They echo. Sometimes for generations.
That’s why we work with both kids and adults.
We help children and parents build stronger bonds—so that everyone feels safer, closer, and more understood.
And we support adults who are still carrying pain from old relationships—the kind that shows up in trust, in closeness, in the fear of being too much or not enough.
Whether you’re coming in for your child , your family, or for yourself, we’re here to work at the root—because that’s where things really start to shift.
Deeper Than Behavior. Steadier Than Strategy.
Maybe it’s your child’s meltdown that leaves you wondering what else to try.
Or maybe it’s your own shutdown—the spiral, the snap, the silence you can’t explain.
Either way, something’s not working. And you’re tired of white-knuckling your way through.
This isn’t about sticker charts or clip systems that keep kids in line.
(We don’t hand out rewards for holding it together.)
We’re not here to control behavior—we’re here to understand what’s behind it.
Because behavior is never just behavior.
It’s a signal:
“I’m overwhelmed.”
“Will you still stay with me?”
“Do I still matter?”
We like to call it x-ray vision goggles—the lens that helps us see what's underneath.
Whether it’s your child’s outburst or your own self-protection, there’s always a reason.
And that reason makes sense. Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s hard to name.
We don’t do shame.
We don’t do performance—sticker charts included.
(And no, adults don’t get one either.)
We do real connection.
Real repair.
Real change.
And if a sparkly dinosaur sticker brings a smile?
We’ve got one for you.
Oh—and your child gets one too.
Ready When You Are
When you're tired of piecing together advice from books, podcasts, or well-meaning friends—
when you’re ready for therapy that gets to the root of what’s been hurting—we’re here.
This isn’t drop-in, when-you-feel-like-it therapy.
It’s show-up-every-week therapy.
Stay-when-it’s-uncomfortable therapy.
The kind of work that gently shifts how you relate to your child, your partner, or the absence of one—your past, and yourself.
Whether you're coming for your child, your family, or your own healing,
you don’t have to untangle it all alone.
If you're not sure where to begin—or who it’s really “for”—you can reach out and talk it through with our intake coordinator. We’ll figure it out together.
Healing starts in relationship—with someone who can help you feel safe enough to begin.
Wherever you begin, we’ll meet you there.
