attachment DISORDER therapy in Ann Arbor, michigan

Rewriting the story of connection.

Attachment shapes everything—how we trust, how we connect, how we navigate relationships. When early bonds are disrupted, it can leave lasting emotional imprints. But that doesn’t mean the past has to define the future.

Early wounds don’t have to define your relationships.

Attachment trauma can make trust, closeness, and emotional security feel out of reach—but healing is possible. At Hive Wellness Collective, we help children, teens, and adults break free from survival patterns, rebuild trust, and create meaningful, healthy connections.

Through attachment-focused, trauma-informed therapy, we guide you or your child toward emotional safety, self-worth, and deeper relationships—because everyone deserves to feel secure and loved.

What are attachment disorders?

Attachment disorders occur when early emotional and physical needs weren’t consistently met, leading the nervous system to adapt in ways that make trust and connection difficult.

If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone—and you’re not broken. Healing is possible.

You learned to survive—now it’s time to truly connect.

Our first relationships teach our brains whether the world is safe or unsafe. If early caregivers were unreliable or emotionally distant, your nervous system may have wired itself to expect instability.

But here’s the good news: Your brain is adaptable. Therapy helps rewire old survival responses so that connection feels safer, emotions feel more manageable, and relationships feel more secure.

At Hive Wellness Collective, we use brain-based, body-informed techniques to heal attachment wounds at their root—including EMDR, Brainspotting, nervous system regulation, and relational therapy.

What We Help With:

  • Building Emotional Security – Helping you or your child develop safe, trusting relationships through consistent, attachment-based strategies.

  • Regulating Big Emotions & Behaviors – Teaching emotional self-regulation tools to manage anger, withdrawal, or impulsive behaviors.

  • Repairing Parent-Child Relationships – Guiding caregivers in rebuilding bonds with children struggling with attachment challenges.

  • Healing Relationship Patterns in Adults – Addressing avoidance, fear of intimacy, people-pleasing, or emotional detachment to create healthier, fulfilling relationships.

  • Trauma Processing – Using Brainspotting, EMDR, and somatic techniques to heal deep-rooted attachment wounds at the nervous system level.

  • Practical, Real-Life Strategies – Offering concrete techniques to improve connection, trust, and emotional safety in daily life.

How We Work:

  • Attachment-Focused Therapy – We go deeper than surface-level fixes, helping you heal at the root.

  • Relational Healing – We don’t just treat symptoms—we help you build real, lasting connection.

  • Real-Life Strategies – Expert guidance and tools that make relationships feel easier and safer.

    Attachment trauma doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you adapted to survive. But survival isn’t the end of your story. You deserve more than just getting by—you deserve deep, meaningful, safe connections.

    Let’s build them, together.
