Attachment Trauma Therapy in Ottawa & Online Across Ontario
Evidence-Based Therapy for Healing Attachment Wounds in Ottawa & Ontario
If you are seeking attachment healing in Ottawa or virtual therapy for attachment wounds in Ontario, I provide specialized support for adults in Ontario navigating the long-term effects of attachment trauma.
Attachment wounds often form early in life within relationships that were meant to provide safety and consistency. When connection felt unpredictable, conditional, or emotionally unsafe, your nervous system may have learned to stay alert in relationships — sometimes long after those early experiences have passed.
My approach to attachment trauma therapy in Ottawa focuses on helping you process these relational wounds, allowing you to build internal security and move beyond the adaptive responses that once kept you safe.
Signs of Attachment Wounds in Adulthood: Support for Ontario Residents
In my practice, attachment-based therapy in Ottawa helps adults recognize how early relational hurt manifests in present-day connections. These patterns often align with insecure attachment patterns, and commonly present as:
Fear of Abandonment: Worrying about rejection or being “too much”
Hyper-vigilance: Intense scanning of tone, mood, or perceived disconnection
Avoidance of Vulnerability: Emotional shutdown or difficulty relying on others for support
Codependency: Over-functioning or self-abandonment to maintain closeness
Dysregulation: Strong emotional reactions that feel overwhelming or hard to manage
Gal Zohar, Psychotherapist Specializing in Attachment in Ontario
Healing attachment wounds happens through consistent emotional safety, attunement, and understanding — experiences that allow your nervous system to learn something new.
My approach is relational, attachment-based, trauma-informed, and works at processing underlying relational wounds and building an internal sense of safety. Together, we can explore:
How attachment injuries show up in your thoughts, emotions, and relationships
The fears or protective strategies that surface in closeness
Early relational experiences that shaped your attachment style
Patterns of self-abandonment, withdrawal, or overresponsibility
What safety, connection, and self-trust feel like for you
Our work together is relational, meaning the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a space where new patterns can emerge. Through consistent safety, your nervous system gradually learns it no longer needs to stay in survival mode within relationships.
