Integrative Attachment Family Therapy

IAFT is an approach that combines principles of attachment theory and family systems therapy. This modality focuses on strengthening emotional bonds within families and helping individuals heal from relational challenges.

IAFT is particularly effective for children, youth, families, and parent-child dyads, including those navigating the complexities of neurodiversity. By fostering secure attachments and addressing relational dynamics, IAFT supports families in creating a foundation of safety, connection, and mutual understanding.

"The Parent-child relationship is the key to creating the platform for a child's healthy emotional development." - Dafna Lender
