We Help People Break the Cycle
We help people who feel stuck in patterns of fear, conflict, and disconnection in their relationships.
Here, you’ll have space to untangle old patterns, care for the younger parts of yourself that still carry pain, and build connections that finally feel safe to trust.
When Trauma Shapes Your Life
It’s not just relationships that feel hard - it’s how much they cost you.
You overthink every text before you send it.
You reread their reply, scanning for rejection.
You smile through conversations while quietly wondering if everyone secretly dislikes you.
“I want closeness, but the second it happens, I panic.”
“I don’t know who I am if I’m not trying to please someone.”
It’s like reaching for someone across a glass wall - you can see them, but never quite feel close enough to touch.
It Isn’t Your Fault
The way you feel isn’t a flaw. It’s protection.
If you grew up without steady comfort, your body learned to stay alert - to expect loss, to protect your heart, to keep love at a distance. That protection helped you survive back then. Now, it’s keeping you from the closeness you want.
It’s not weakness. It’s a pattern your nervous system learned - and it can learn something new.
How Therapy for Attachment Trauma Helps
Healing starts with feeling safe.
At Tranquilium Holistic Therapy & Wellness, you set the pace. You choose how deep to go, and we move gently.
We help you care for the younger parts of you that still carry fear, while also giving you tools to feel steady in the present.
Sometimes that means working through old pain stuck in your body.
Other times, it’s building new habits for trust and boundaries.
Step by step, your nervous system learns that closeness isn’t danger anymore - it’s safe to stay.
What Life Can Feel Like on the Other Side
You sit next to someone you love and your body stays calm.
You speak your needs without shaking - and they listen, and you believe them.
You stop scanning for rejection and start noticing moments of care.
Even quiet evenings feel peaceful instead of lonely.
You stop proving your worth and start trusting it.
You stop bracing for abandonment - and start reaching for connection.
If you’re ready to start your journey to feel more in control, we’re here to help.

Meet Your Team
We started Tranquillium to help more people without endless waitlists or burned‑out therapists.
Our team is small on purpose: real humans who are present and attuned.
You’ll work with one therapist who truly knows your story — not a rotating roster or a rushed session.
We keep our caseloads sustainable so we can be fully there with you.
Every therapist at Tranquillium is trained in bottom-up approaches like EMDR, IFS, and Brainspotting - methods that reach the root of what’s happening instead of just managing symptoms.
