Attachment Therapy
With Julie Newman + Geraldine Salazar
Julie Newman, LMHC-D
Geraldine Salazar, MHP-LP
We’ve spent a decade focusing on attachment and relationship therapy, and as New Yorkers, we understand how complicated dating, relationships, and connection is in this city.
Do you keep choosing the same kind of person?
Do you want a relationship, but find yourself keeping people at a distance or struggling to make one last?
Maybe you know something isn't working, but you can't seem to change it. Some clients avoid difficult conversations. They justify behavior they know doesn't feel right. Others struggle to ask for what they need.
They may even wonder, “Why do I keep doing this?”
There's usually a reason.
Clients Come To Us When They
Repeat patterns
Pick unavailable partners
Avoid relationships
Struggle to ask for needs
Push partners away
Are unsure of themselves
Justify bad behavior
Fear relationships will end
The patterns that show up in your relationships often started as ways of coping with something earlier in life.
Attachment Therapy With Us
We’ll look underneath the behavior instead of simply trying to stop it. Together, we’ll understand where your patterns came from, what they were protecting you from, and why they still keep showing up.
Then we’ll work on small, practical changes. The goal isn't to become a completely different person. It's to understand yourself well enough so you can pause, make a choice, and respond differently.
You learned these patterns. They can be unlearned.
Approaches We May Use
-
Helps you understand how early relationships shaped the way you connect, communicate, and protect yourself. This makes your relationship patterns easier to understand and change.
-
Looks at the roots of your patterns and the experiences that shaped them. This helps you understand why certain people, situations, or reactions are so familiar.
-
Helps you notice and change thoughts and behaviors that keep you stuck. This makes it easier to challenge assumptions, communicate clearly, and respond with more confidence.
-
Builds skills for managing strong emotions, pausing before reacting, and communicating effectively. This helps you stay grounded when relationship stress gets intense.
Trust Yourself In Your Relationships
Understand what keeps pulling you into the same relationship dynamics, make different choices, communicate what you need, and stop falling back on patterns simply because they’re familiar and safe.
Attachment Therapy With Results
As you understand yourself and your patterns more clearly, you relate differently.
Our clients report:
More confidence
Calmer reactions
More mutual relationships
Clearer boundaries
Recognizing red flags
Better communication
Stronger friendships
You learn to pause before reacting, ask for what you need, and decode what's actually happening instead of automatically responding from an old pattern.
“You learned these patterns for a reason. That doesn’t mean you have to keep living by them.”
