Start your search

Early attachment experiences influence how we form relationships, regulate emotions, and view ourselves throughout life. When those foundational bonds were disrupted, inconsistent, or harmful, the effects can show up in unexpected ways—from difficulty trusting others to patterns of anxiety in close relationships.

Working with a therapist who specializes in attachment trauma can help you understand these patterns and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others. On First Session, you can browse therapists across Canada who work with attachment-related concerns, watch their intro videos to get a sense of their approach, and book directly when you find the right fit.

About First Session
What is attachment trauma?

Attachment trauma refers to disruptions in early bonding experiences with caregivers that can affect emotional development and relationships later in life. This may include experiences of neglect, inconsistent caregiving, separation from caregivers, or other early relational wounds. These experiences can shape how we connect with others, manage difficult emotions, and see ourselves as deserving of love and care.

How can therapy help with attachment trauma?

Therapy can provide a safe space to explore how early experiences continue to influence your life today. A skilled therapist may help you recognize relationship patterns, develop healthier ways of connecting with others, and build a more secure sense of self. Many people find that understanding their attachment history brings clarity to longstanding struggles in relationships or with emotional regulation.

What should I look for in an attachment trauma therapist?

Look for someone who has experience working with attachment-related concerns and whose approach feels safe to you. Finding a good therapist often comes down to feeling heard and understood. On First Session, you can watch therapist intro videos to get a sense of their personality and style before booking, which can help you find someone who feels like the right fit.

Is online therapy effective for attachment trauma?

Many people find online therapy to be a supportive option for working through attachment-related concerns. Virtual sessions can offer flexibility and accessibility while still providing meaningful therapeutic connection. Some people appreciate being in their own space during sessions, while others prefer in-person work. First Session offers both options so you can choose what works best for you.

How do I know if my struggles are related to attachment?

Attachment-related struggles often show up as recurring patterns in relationships—difficulty trusting others, fear of abandonment, discomfort with closeness, or challenges regulating emotions during conflict. You might notice these patterns across different relationships or find that certain situations consistently trigger strong emotional responses. A therapist can help you explore whether attachment experiences may be contributing to current challenges.

How are therapists on First Session vetted?

All therapists on First Session have their credentials verified during onboarding. Each therapist also creates an intro video so you can get a sense of who they are before booking. This helps ensure you can make an informed choice about who to work with on something as personal as attachment and early experiences.
