Attachment & Relational Therapy in Conneaut Lake, PA

“Why do I always end up in the same kind of relationships?”

It might feel like no matter how much you try, your relationships keep repeating painful patterns. Maybe you struggle to feel emotionally safe, tend to shut down when conflict arises, or feel anxious and fearful about rejection.

At Karima Mental Health Services, we provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals ages 12 and up across Pennsylvania to help you understand how early attachment experiences, emotional neglect, or past relational trauma may be shaping your current relationships. Through therapy, you can learn to identify these patterns, shift how you relate to others, and foster greater connection, both with yourself and the people around you.

We also offer family counseling to support healthy communication and stronger connections within your family, especially when relational patterns impact the household.

Understanding Attachment & Relational Issues

Attachment patterns are formed early in life and influence how we show up in relationships as adults. Experiences like emotional neglect, inconsistent caregiving, betrayal, or abandonment can create long-lasting patterns of mistrust, fear of vulnerability, or difficulty with emotional closeness.

Whether you're dealing with relationship difficulties, family dynamics, or internal struggles with self-worth and connection, therapy can help you reconnect to your needs and rewire the relational patterns that no longer serve you.

Common Attachment & Relational Challenges We Address

Attachment Wounds & Emotional Neglect

Early attachment disruptions or emotional neglect can impact how you connect with others and regulate your emotions. You may struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or difficulty feeling safe in relationships.

Relationship Challenges

Attachment Wounds & Emotional Neglect

Relationship issues can arise from communication struggles, unmet emotional needs, or past wounds. You may feel disconnected, misunderstood, or stuck in patterns that hurt your connection with others.

Emotional Safety & Vulnerability

Attachment Wounds & Emotional Neglect

Emotional Safety & Vulnerability

A lack of emotional safety can make it difficult to open up, be authentic, or trust others with your true feelings. You may find yourself shutting down or avoiding closeness out of fear of judgment or rejection.

Inner Child Work

Abandonment Wounds

Emotional Safety & Vulnerability

Inner child work explores the unmet needs, emotions, and beliefs formed in childhood that still influence you today. You may notice recurring emotional triggers, people-pleasing patterns, or a harsh inner critic rooted in those early experiences.

Abandonment Wounds

Abandonment wounds can leave you feeling anxious, unworthy, or desperate to keep people close. You may fear being left or overreact to signs of distance in relationships.

Boundary Issues

Abandonment Wounds

Boundary struggles often mean saying yes when you want to say no, overcommitting, or neglecting your needs to keep others happy. You may feel taken advantage of, drained, or resentful.
