Attachment-based Therapists in Fair Lawn, NJ
I've always believed that the person who enters therapy is a brave soul. Coming to therapy means taking a leap of faith that the therapist will hear you and respond with empathy and connect in a way that makes the experience comforting in an environment of acceptance with purpose and growth. The impetus that compels someone to come to therapy may be depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or a general lack of fulfillment in life. You may want to be compassionate to your thriving inner critic. All are a genesis to a new beginning that we will work on together.

Thank you for exploring my profile. It can be challenging to find the right therapist, or even to know if you need one. Therapy can help when you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sadness, anger, or guilt. It can help if you are having trouble thinking clearly or quieting your mind. When important relationships feel confusing or frustrating, an outside perspective is often helpful. At it's core, therapy helps you know yourself. This clarity about why you act and feel the way you do can lead to growth, healing, and positive emotion. I work with both adolescents and adults facing a range of issues.

I help with ADD self-management. I am also a Lyme Literate counselor and as such work with folks with chronic complex illness.

In understanding that individuals in pain or having a particular challenge in life may make only one attempt at reaching out for help, I strive to welcome and set at ease every one who contacts me. Most therapy patients are ordinary people that have hit a bump in the road of life and cannot get past it on their own.
My commitment, through goal directed therapy, is to help those people return to their optimal level of coping with the sometimes mild, sometimes severe challenges that life brings their way and guide them back to a sense of well being.

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.
