Daniel J. Ahearn, LMFT
Attachment-Based Therapist · Author · Organizational Consultant
I work with men, fathers, teens, and families on attachment repair in private practice; serve as Director of Culture at Ascend Healthcare, a residential treatment organization for adolescents that has grown from four to twelve facilities during my tenure; and write and speak about attachment-based approaches to clinical care and institutional culture.
I'm one of six certified Integrative Attachment Therapy clinicians in the United States, trained directly with Dan Brown and David Elliott since 2018, and the author of The Way Back Home: Healing Attachment Wounds with Your Teen.
