About ATTCH

Picture
After providing counselling services for over 20 years Lori Gill, founder of ATTCH, has observed a consistent need for attachment and trauma-focused therapy. Trauma impacts all areas, and often surfaces in addictions, mental health, and other counselling areas. In spite of this obvious need there remains a considerable shortage of qualified therapists trained in evidence-based trauma intervention offering this service. As a result of this need Lori became a certified trauma specialist and trainer through the National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children and is determined to create a business to meet this need within our community.  In addition to providing clinical services ATTCH also trains other therapists and organizations to become certified trauma specialists or certified trauma informed organizations. This contributes to our vision of creating a more trauma-informed society. 

The Attachment and Trauma Treatment Centre for Healing (ATTCH) provides quality trauma and attachment assessment and treatment, clinical supervision, evidence based and evidence informed trauma training. ATTCH staff includes cross-disciplinary services to allow for comprehensive assessment and treatment. Services are available for all ages, including early intervention/ prevention supports for young mothers or individuals who may be at an increased risk for future difficulty. 

ATTCH recognizes the importance of harmonizing the mind and body to create an experience of calm.  As a result, we are thrilled to offer holistic wellness services evidenced to regulate the mind and body simultaneously.  A few of our services include meditation, mindfulness, somatic / sensory regulation therapies, creative therapies such as art, play, and body movement, neurofeedback, biofeedback, yoga (trauma-focused, restorative, and Kripalu), chakra work, and reiki.

ATTCH also focuses on early intervention and healthy attachment relationships providing attachment enhancing services, parent coaching, formal trauma assessments, and evidence-based treatment focusing on structured sensory intervention for all ages. Our child and youth therapists have completed Theraplay®  training and we are pleased to offer Marshak Interaction Method assessments as well as Theraplay informed family therapy sessions.  Additionally ATTCH also provides clinical supervision, consultation, and training to help organizations implement evidence-based trauma-informed treatment and prevent compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma.
