Family Therapy

Strengthening connection within the family.

Marcelo uses an attachment-based therapy approach to help family members understand relational patterns, improve communication, and create stronger, more secure connections.

Attachment-based family work

Looking beneath conflict to understand the relationship.

Family conflict is often about more than the immediate disagreement. Reactions can be shaped by unmet needs, fear of disconnection, difficulty trusting, or established ways of protecting oneself within the relationship.

Attachment-based therapy helps family members understand these deeper patterns and develop interactions that support greater emotional safety, responsiveness, and connection.

Create emotional safety

03

Practice repair

Develop more constructive responses to conflict and strengthen the family’s ability to reconnect after difficult moments.

Possible goals

Relationships can change when family members feel heard and understood.

The focus and participants are determined by the family's circumstances, concerns, and goals for therapy.

A collaborative process

Each family member's experience matters.

Family therapy creates room to understand different perspectives while keeping the health of the relationships at the center of the work.
