Attachment-Based Therapy in Calgary & Alberta

Helping you build secure connections

Image by Chewy

Human beings are social, bonding creatures.
We need to feel connection and belonging.

On a Walk

Sometimes it feels like no matter how hard you try, your relationships stay stuck in the same frustrating patterns.​

 

Maybe arguments escalate, leaving you feeling unheard, misunderstood and disconnected. 


Perhaps you're quietly withdrawing, feeling increasingly distant and isolated.

​

Sometimes you wish you could just show up and not have to explain yourself.

 

You may find yourself:

  • Arguing often or feeling at odds

  • Lonely even when with loved ones

  • Anxious or insecure in relationships

  • Losing trust in your connections

  • Craving deeper emotional intimacy

 

You're not alone. Our first bonds create a blueprint for how we relate to the world.

Attachment-Based Therapy is a compassionate approach that explores how your earliest relationships with caregivers shaped the way you connect to others today.

The goal is to build a secure, trusting therapeutic relationship where you can safely explore and establish new, healthier patterns.

 

Our early attachment style acts as a blueprint.

 

If those early bonds were inconsistent or unsafe, our map might tell us that relationships are threatening, that we must be perfect to be loved, or that we must hide our needs to stay safe.

​

Attachment-Based Therapy can help you:

  • Understand why you react the way you do

  • Break negative interactional cycles

  • Cultivate self-compassion and empathy

  • Build emotional safety and security

  • Repair trust and heal relational trauma 

  • Feel calmer and more connected

 

This therapy is based on the idea that healing happens relationally.

This approach is useful for clients navigating anxiety, depression, and relational trauma.

 

It's especially helpful for those who feel stuck in painful, repeating relationship patterns.

 

Attachment-based therapy can help if you: 

  • feel anxious or unseen,

  • struggle with people-pleasing, or

  • find it difficult to trust others and be vulnerable.

​

Attachment-Based Therapy works for individuals and couples. We offer both individual and relational sessions.

What if you could...

​

  • Communicate

  • Connect

  • Thrive

  • Trust

  • Heal

A good therapist helps you navigate relationship challenges with empathy and understanding.

 

You can feel confident that you'll be supported through a compassionate, relational approach, with the primary focus on your needs and goals.

​

Therapy provides you with a safe space to explore your emotions, relational patterns, and attachments with compassion and curiosity.

​

Therapy can help you:

  • Resolve conflicts effectively

  • Identify patterns causing disconnection

  • Build deeper emotional intimacy

  • Develop healthier relational responses

  • Create secure, lasting bonds

 

Your relationships could feel like safe havens—places where you are accepted and loved.

 

You can learn to embrace what serves you and let go of what no longer supports your well-being and connection.

Therapy Alberta respectfully acknowledges we are supported by the land of Turtle Island, now called Canada. Turtle Island is the home of the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have travelled, gathered, lived on and cared for these lands for centuries. Calling Canada our home is a privilege and responsibility. Declarations of land are only one component of our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.


We are committed to new communities of decolonization. We strive to create safe, affirming, anti-racist and anti-oppressive spaces to welcome and provide free mental health care for people from Indigenous, Black, Color and LGBTQ+ communities and those impacted by trauma. Support our mission today.
