Attachment forms the foundation for a child’s physical, cognitive and psychological development. It is the bond that forms between a child and his or her parents or primary caregiver. 

Healthy attachment occurs when the caregiver provides not only the basic necessities of food, shelter and clothing, but also the emotional essentials of touch, smiles and eye contact. Our work facilitates that bond as we maintain an awareness of the unique and cultural needs of each family. At Heartwork Counseling Center we aim to provide a corrective attachment process for each individual.

Our attachment styles and the way we relate to people are a reflection of these early relationships. Are you fiercely independent? Do you hope that someone else will fulfill your needs? Are you glad to be involved in relationships? Or do you wish they’d all go away?

At Heartwork Counseling Center, we look forward to the opportunity to work with people of all attachment styles. We believe in the power of relationships and the capacity of all human beings to learn, grow and heal.
