Attachment Lab Counseling: Individual and Couples Therapy in Uptown Dallas
Uptown Dallas Trauma Recovery and Relationship Counseling
In your relationship with yourself, there’s a fear of your own emotions, thoughts, and impulses, a constant second guessing of what’s real, and a self-talk that you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. With your partner, safety evaporates in conflict and all of sudden you’re fighting each other tooth and nail in a way that feels primal. Intimacy is just a word, not a lived experience, and loneliness feels safer than vulnerability.
Somewhere along the way, you got stuck in a pattern. And you want out.
You’re Not a Problem to be Fixed, You’re Someone to be Experienced
Meet the Therapist
Hi, I’m Abigail, an attachment focused CPTSD and relationship therapist. I work with adults who survived difficult childhoods and are currently feeling detached, anxious, or confused in their current relationship. My clients come to me because they want to get out survival mode with themselves and experience real peace and fulfillment in relationships. They struggle to trust themselves or their partner, use their voice without overthinking, and navigate difficult conversations without lightning fast anger or shutdown. In our work together, they are given the space to understand the pattern they are in, trace it back to its root, and examine options for change.

Why Attachment Therapy?
Specialized Approach and Lived Empathy
As a therapist who has been on your side of the couch, I value your courage every time you walk in the door. My approach is grounded in attachment, which means I place a high priority on the relational aspect of therapy. With my approach you can expect:
Collaborative Directness - you set the goals and pace and I will meet you where you're at while also tracking the themes and patterns in our work so that every session moves the needle a little bit more. I'll challenge you to grow in your courage, insight, and awareness, but never push you beyond where you want to go
Specialized Specificity - I'm not a generalist provider. I focus my practice on a couple core issues and seek to treat them with excellence and intentionality, which means you have options for treatment that are tailored specifically for you.
Genuine Support - My own journey in therapy is the foundation for my empathy. Your story will be meaningful to me in ways that allow me to deeply understood you and walk WITH you in your pain.
In-Person and Remote Options
Attachment Lab’s Uptown office is nestled in the heart of Dallas where you can expect complimentary coffee and tea service, spacious lobby areas with tv, and a cozy, private session space.

My practice was built from the desire to address forms of trauma that aren’t addressed in both the broader culture and mental health culture specifically. Grief from divorce and loss of important relationships, abuse within families and homeschool settings, and trauma in romantic relationships are so often shrouded by silence and that makes recovery more lonely than it needs to be. At Attachment Lab, the mission is to give you the space to feel heard in a story that often gets misunderstood and to get real, practical help in processing your experiences. As an attachment clinician, I focus my training and education on these areas and have honed my excellence as a specialist.
I am also a survivor of much of what I treat and my lived empathy puts me in a unique position as a therapist to truly understood where you’re coming from rather than relying solely on theory. A client of therapy myself, my hope is to empower you in the same way I would want.

I am an out-of-network provider, so payment for sessions is direct and due at the time of service. This allows you more confidentiality and freedom of choice in your sessions. Specifically, it avoids both a mental health diagnosis going on your permanent record AND insurance companies having access to your confidential records.
However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t use your benefits. Some insurance plans reimburse out-of-network mental health appointment between 50% - 80% of the session cost - the rate of repayment is unique to your plan. I utilize a benefits calculator during our consult call to help you instantly determine your out-of-network coverage. If you have benefits, I will automatically provide you with a superbill which is essentially a detailed receipt for services that contains all the information your insurance needs to reimburse you for appointments.

You can access my calendar directly by clicking the “book a free consult” button below and scheduling yourself a free 15 minute phone call. This is a time to help you determine if I am a good fit for your needs, ask any questions you have, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward in scheduling. At the end of the consult, if we both feel that it’s a good fit, we will schedule your first session, and I will provide you with a link to your client portal where you can see your schedule and access your intake paperwork.
