Do you find it difficult to trust others, fear abandonment, or struggle with emotional closeness? Attachment-Based Therapy helps you explore the roots of these challenges and develop healthier, more secure relationships. At Summit Counseling Center, our compassionate therapists work with individuals, couples, and families to heal early relational wounds and create safe, connected bonds.

What to Expect in Attachment-Based Therapy
In your sessions, your therapist will create a warm, secure space to help you:
- Explore your early life relationships and attachment history
- Understand your attachment style (anxious, avoidant, secure, etc.)
- Identify and shift relational patterns that no longer serve you
