How Attachment Trauma Therapy Supports Healing
At Castillo Psychotherapy & Counseling, we offer a supportive path to healing, including specialized therapy for attachment trauma. But what does attachment trauma therapy involve, and how can it help?
Rebuilding Safety & Connection
Attachment trauma arises from disruptions in early relationships with caregivers, which can have lasting effects on mental health, relationships, and self-perception. Through targeted therapeutic interventions, we help humans process these early wounds, build healthier connections, and develop a stronger sense of self.
Our approach provides the knowledge and support needed to begin a meaningful healing journey, offering tangible outcomes such as improved emotional regulation, healthier relationships, and greater self-awareness.

When is therapy helpful?
Trauma, anxiety, and attachment focused therapy can help when past experiences such as abuse, neglect, or inconsistent care lead to insecure attachment styles, ongoing anxiety, trust issues, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, or difficulty managing emotions.
Therapy provides a safe space to process these wounds, build secure connections, and develop healthier coping strategies and relationship skills for humans of all ages.
