Browse therapists who specialize in attachment. Watch their intro videos to find the right fit before booking.
Attachment patterns shape how we connect with others throughout our lives. Formed in early relationships, these patterns influence how we relate to partners, friends, and family. If you struggle with trust, closeness, or find yourself repeating the same relationship dynamics, exploring your attachment style can bring clarity.
On First Session, you can browse therapists who specialize in attachment, watch their intro videos to get a sense of their approach, and book directly online. Credentials are verified during onboarding. Find a therapist who can help you understand and shift your relational patterns.

What is attachment?
Attachment refers to the emotional bonds we form with others, particularly in close relationships. Attachment theory suggests that early experiences with caregivers shape our expectations and behaviors in relationships throughout life. Common attachment styles include secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized, though most people show a mix of patterns.
How can therapy help with attachment issues?
Therapy can help you understand your attachment patterns and how they developed. A therapist can guide you in recognizing how these patterns show up in your current relationships and work with you to develop more secure ways of connecting. The therapeutic relationship itself often becomes a place to practice new relational skills.
What should I expect when working on attachment in therapy?
Your therapist will likely explore your relationship history, starting with early experiences and extending to current patterns. Sessions may involve examining your reactions in close relationships, understanding your needs and fears around intimacy, and developing new ways of relating. Change happens gradually through both insight and experience.
How do I find a therapist for attachment?
On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who work with attachment. Each therapist has an intro video so you can get a sense of their warmth and approach before booking. Credentials are verified during onboarding. Book a free consultation to see if a therapist is the right fit.
Is attachment therapy right for me?
If you notice patterns in your relationships—like pulling away when things get close, needing constant reassurance, or struggling to trust—exploring attachment can be valuable. Understanding your attachment style can help you make sense of your relational experiences and build healthier connections going forward.
