Specialized Psychotherapy for Trauma and Attachment

Not all therapy is the same.

When trauma impacts a child or family, it often shows up as behavior, emotional reactivity, disconnection, or ongoing stress that does not resolve with traditional approaches.

This practice specializes in understanding and treating intergenerational trauma and attachment disruptions using a structured, neuroscience-informed approach.

Who We Support

We provide psychotherapy for:

Children and Teens

  • Emotional reactivity, anxiety, or withdrawal
  • Behavioural challenges
  • Trauma and attachment disruptions
  • School and social difficulties

Parents and Families

  • Parenting stress and overwhelm
  • Family conflict and disconnection
  • Navigating the impact of trauma across generations
  • Strengthening attachment and co-regulation

Adults

  • Trauma and unresolved life experiences
  • Relationship difficulties

A Different Approach to Therapy

Many approaches focus on managing symptoms.

Our work focuses on understanding why those symptoms exist.

We look at:

  • Nervous system regulation
  • Attachment patterns
  • Family relationships
  • Intergenerational influences

This allows us to move beyond coping strategies and toward lasting change.

Core Areas of Specialization

Intergenerational Trauma Treatment

Trauma is often carried across generations through relationships, stress responses, and learned patterns.

Our work focuses on helping families understand and shift these patterns to create lasting resilience.

Child and Family Therapy

Children communicate through behavior.

Using play-based and relational approaches, we support children and families to:

  • Increase emotional regulation
  • Strengthen attachment
  • Build positive family interactions

Parent Support and Coaching

Parents are central to a child’s healing.

We provide structured support to help parents:

  • Understand trauma-informed behavior
  • Develop co-regulation skills
  • Respond effectively to challenging behaviors

Individual Therapy for Adults

For adults, therapy focuses on:

  • Understanding long-standing emotional patterns
  • Resolving trauma responses
  • Building capacity for regulation and connection

How We Work

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

We draw from a range of evidence-based and neuroscience-informed approaches, including:

  • Brainspotting
  • Play-based and family therapy
  • Mindfulness-based Cognitive Behavior Therapy
  • Structured sensory and resilience-based programs
  • Sandtray therapy interventions
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Intergenerational Trauma Program

For families experiencing more complex or long-standing trauma, we offer the Intergenerational Trauma Program.

This structured program supports:

  • Parent healing
  • Child regulation
  • Strengthening family relationships
  • Building long-term resilience
