What is attachment-focused trauma therapy?

It’s a relational therapy where healing happens through a trusting connection with me as your therapist. Together, we’ll explore how early relationships shaped your patterns and work through old wounds. The goal is to build safety, calm your nervous system, and help you create more secure connections, with yourself and others.

What are some examples of attachment trauma?

Attachment trauma comes from experiences that shake your sense of safety and connection as a child—things like emotional neglect, inconsistent or unavailable parents or caregivers, abandonment, loss, or living with parents or caregivers who were emotionally distant, critical, or unpredictable. These early wounds can still influence how you relate to yourself and others today.

How does attachment trauma affect my relationships?

It can make trust feel tricky or fragile, boundaries hard to set, and safety tough to find. You might notice patterns like people pleasing, avoidance, or anxiety popping up in your closest connections. Therapy helps you understand these patterns and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Who can benefit from this therapy?

If you’re a deep thinker, creative soul, or emotionally attuned person carrying trauma, anxiety, or attachment wounds—especially if people pleasing or boundary setting struggles wear you down—this therapy can support you in feeling steadier and more yourself.

How is attachment-focused therapy different from other trauma therapies?

Unlike therapies that mainly tackle symptoms, attachment-focused therapy dives into your relational patterns and early attachment experiences. It blends emotional exploration with somatic and nervous system tools to help you feel safer in your body and relationships.

Do you offer online therapy?

Yes! I offer online therapy across Texas and online and in-person sessions in San Antonio, TX.

How long does therapy usually take?

Therapy will only take as long as the goals you’ve decided for yourself need. Many clients notice meaningful shifts within a few months, but we move at your pace, honoring your readiness and needs.

What if I’m nervous about diving into my trauma?

It’s natural to feel nervous. While my clients are ready to do the deeper trauma work, therapy unfolds at a pace that feels best and most manageable for you. We’ll build trust and move forward with compassion and care—always honoring your boundaries as we work toward healing.

Heal, Rebuild & Find Your Calm-Without Dimming Your Light

You’re the one everyone leans on. Reliable. Thoughtful. Insightful.

But inside? You feel unseen, overwhelmed, and stretched thin - the weight of past trauma and unresolved attachment wounds quietly pulling at you every day.

You’re not the problem. You’re layered, perceptive, quietly running on reserves…and long overdue for care.

I’m Rebecca Flores, and I help unconventional, introspective thinkers heal trauma, quiet the anxious mind, and heal their attachment style - all without forcing you to become someone you’re not.

Healing That Fits You - Not the Other Way Around

You’re wired to notice the invisible.

Strength doesn’t mean shouldering it all alone.

You’re the one who:

⥇ Notices the tiniest shifts in people’s moods.

⥇ Replays conversations at 2 a.m. (“Why did I say that?”).

⥇ Gives so much but rarely feels replenished.

⥇ Wants deep, meaningful relationships but struggles with trust, boundaries, and feeling truly safe.

⥇ Unresolved pain still shapes your days - old wounds, attachment patterns, and anxiety that persists.

Your depth is a gift, not a glitch.

You’ve learned how to hold everything…others’ emotions, your own past, the pressure to always show up strong. Therapy is where you don’t have to hold it all alone.

Counseling for Overthinking, Over-functioning, and Emotional Exhaustion

Anxiety, avoidance, people pleasing, and boundary struggles often stem from early attachment wounds and unresolved trauma - and they’re signals your inner self is asking for care.

⤍ You deeply absorb everything. You’re not just sensitive, you’re perceptive. Therapy helps you embrace these traits as the gifts they are, without feeling constantly overwhelmed.

⤍ People Pleasing & Boundaries? Putting others first is second nature, but it’s also draining. We’ll work on saying no without the guilt trip.

⤍ You crave connection but fear being fully seen. Past trauma, attachment wounds, and anxiety make it hard to trust and feel safe in relationships. Let’s explore the root of this fear and reshape how you relate to others.

⤍ Old wounds and patterns still pull the strings. Whether it’s childhood trauma, sexual trauma, medical trauma, religious trauma, complex trauma, emotionally neglectful environments, or attachment trauma, attachment-focused therapy supports you in untangling old blocks and moving forward.

What Counseling with Me Feels Like

⥇ My therapy approach is deeply human and relational - It’s all about our relationship-our fit/vibe/connection, and how we feel working together.

⥇ You’re not just another client, and sessions won’t feel like just another appointment.

⥇ Warm, down-to-earth, and real. No judgment. Just deep, meaningful healing.

⥇ A little humorous (It’s okay to laugh in therapy!). We’ll do deep work, but I’m not afraid to bring humor into sessions. Healing is serious, but it doesn’t always have to feel so heavy.

⥇ Creative, outside the box & somatic. This isn’t about endlessly circling your pain. We’ll work with it, move through it. I’ll weave in mind and body-based tools and expressive techniques that make healing feel more alive, connected, and effective.

⥇ Insightful & deep. We’ll get to the root of things, not just put a Band-Aid on it all.
