Individual Therapy
Abandonment can be a result of many different experiences. The behaviors often engaged in are questionable and, at the same time, take complete control. Understanding that there are other options besides the behavior learned because of abandonment will give you the control you seek. Whether you want to work on yourself to understand yourself and those behaviors better or because you are ready to start a healthy relationship. Either way, we can work together to help you attain your goals.
Couples Therapy
Struggling with abandonment daily and alone is a very challenging task. Relationships are often sacrificed because it is difficult to trust another individual. The lack of trust often results in believing that he/she will also walk away and leave. Letting go of possible healthy relationships does not have to be the only option. Couples therapy can help you learn how to be honest and how to trust the partner you have chosen for yourself. You don’t have to keep suffering alone. This can be a safe place for you and your partner to share the fears that have been controlling you. We can work together to identify the present difficulties and how to understand each other.
Family Therapy
Being bicultural can often lead to many insecurities as well as struggles with abandonment. Children are often affected from a young age, depending on when cultural assimilation occurs. Children grow into adulthood, struggling with abandonment, self-identity, and acceptance while feeling no one understands. Family relationships are often sacrificed in return for feeling accepted, but it is usually only superficial as it is based on a possible made-up identity. Maintaining a family can be overwhelming, especially when parents and children do not talk to or understand each other. Life doesn’t need to continue that way. Together we can pinpoint what is working and what isn’t. We can figure out a healthy balance and understanding that will help every family member.
