Sam’s approach to psychotherapy is deepening individuals, couples, and groups to their relationships with themselves, with one’s partner(s), in connection with their families and communities they associate and identify with, through a here-and-now, somatic, and attachment-based approach.
Ciao, I'm Samantha Elisabetta Tomarchio, LMFT. I am a licensed trauma, sex, and relationship psychotherapist. My work is intersectional, attachment-based, and rooted in somatic awareness of the body with a mindfulness twist. I have extensive experience working with folks who hold multicultural identities, who are of the LBGTQIA+ population, as well as, though not limited to, those struggling with sexual / sexuality-related intimacy and relationship issues.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by relationship challenges or navigating a major life transition? Are you seeking deeper connections but find yourself facing emotional barriers or past hurts? Relationships are at the core of our experiences, influencing how we navigate life's changes. I understand how difficult it can be when connections feel strained or when new chapters bring uncertainty.

My volunteering at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Aids Project led me to a volunteer management career. I went on to work with volunteers in a medical center, humane society, and adult literacy program. I returned to college later in life to pursue a career in counseling. My desire to become a therapist developed over time as I gained more insight into my own life. A failed marriage landed me in therapy, where I was able to deal with my anger and emotional pain. After some years of antidepressant medication and therapy, I gained a new lease on life.

When you've been negatively influenced, hurt, or pressured in the name of faith, it can leave you with feelings of confusion, anger, grief, doubt, and shame. As a therapist, I have seen firsthand how the church can become an unsafe place. My own experiences in the church have led me to value the agency and identity of every human deeply. I understand the pain of abuse and trauma as a result of unsafe and unhealthy religious systems and want you to know your experience matters.

When you're tired of being tired and have tried other options that seem to come back to the same end, this is the beginning of something different. This is the chance to move through your fear of abandonment and rejection, and the chance to begin to lead your authentic life. My intention is to walk with you on the journey of knowing yourself. I strongly believe in open curiosity paired with synergy which is a bedrock to a trust-based relationship.

Attachment-based Therapists

Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?

Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.

What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?

Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.

How long does attachment-based therapy last?

Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.

Does attachment-based therapy work?

Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
