Some emotions ask to be witnessed before they can soften. In AEDP, we stay close to what’s real - with care, slowness, and connection - so what once felt unbearable becomes something you can hold with more ease.

"Become stronger at the broken places" is the tagline for AEDP and it is the core of my approach to therapy. Very much rooted in neurobiology, presence-focused therapies, AEDP is designed to work on attachment and trauma issues from a deep, resonant place.

Aletha Eastwood (she/her)
Licensed Professional Counselor
MA, Certified Hakomi Therapist, Level 2 AEDP therapist
AEDP recognizes that relational traumas occur when we are isolated in our experience in the face of overwhelming emotions. We become contracted around this traumatic experience, unable to move forward. Healing occurs in undoing the aloneness, giving space to gently re-orient the contraction toward our natural curiosity and creativity. In working together, we can rebuild your capacity to be with your emotions, out of survival mode, and into your natural state of flourishing.
