Daniel J. Ahearn, LMFT
Attachment Repair Specialist
One of six IAT-Certified Attachment Clinicians in the United States
Specialized attachment repair for men, fathers, teens, and families using Integrative Attachment Therapy and the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol
I help people who are successful on the outside but struggling on the inside - men who withdraw when conflict arises, fathers who want to be more present, teens who've learned to protect themselves by shutting down, and families stuck in painful patterns.
Using research-backed neurobiological methods, I guide clients through attachment repair that creates lasting change in how your nervous system experiences safety, connection, and regulation.
