About

At the Center for Attachment & Trauma Services (CATS), our experienced clinicians provide relationship-focused therapy that honors each client’s unique story and nervous system. We specialize in treating developmental and acute trauma, mending attachment wounds, and supporting families with neurodevelopmental differences using trauma-informed, attachment focused, body-based and relational approaches. Our Philosophy: We believe healing begins in the nervous system. That’s why we take a bottom-up, body-first approach to therapy—integrating attachment & somatic therapies, neurodevelopmental supports, and safe relational experiences. We Serve: Children, teens, and adults recovering from trauma Neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, FASD) Families navigating foster, adoption, or kinship care Parents healing from intergenerational trauma Couples seeking reconnection and intimacy
