“Safety is not the absence of threat, it is the presence of connection.”
At the Center for Attachment and Trauma, we provide innovative services to families in dependency where traditional services have failed. Our clinicians have a minimum of seven years’ experience practicing in the dependency system and are trained in Trust-Based Relational Intervention and Adoption Competency. Our uniquely attachment-based, trauma-informed approach strategically addresses the underlying emotional dynamics of the family, supporting the healing of the source of childhood trauma— the parent-child relationship.
