Families

Attachment Focused Family Therapy is designed to deepen connections, create security, share our stories and reimagine our futures together. Family Therapy provides us the opportunity to build or rebuild secure attachments, create solutions together, or to even let go of what cannot be.

Families of Creation are made up of the people we choose to have in the connected circles of our adult lives. Families of Origin are made up of the people from our childhood and genetics. Members from both the Family of Creation and Family of Origin may be included in therapy sessions. Family members may be included in the therapy room, in person via technology or in memory.
