Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current connections, helping with intimacy, communication and relational healing.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Teena will talk with you about your needs, goals and what feels comfortable. Together you can try methods and adapt them as progress is made so therapy fits your situation and preferences.
