In-person in Orinda, CA · Online throughout California
For adults and college students stuck in relationship patterns that feel confusing, exhausting, or hard to break.
When Connection Feels Complicated
Relationship, Boundaries & Attachment Therapy
You want closeness. But relationships keep feeling harder than they should.
You might recognize:
Wanting to let people in, but pulling back once things get close
Giving more than you receive, and wondering if your needs are "too much"
Feeling anxious, distant, or shut down around the people you care about
Fearing rejection or abandonment, even when the relationship is stable
Watching the same painful pattern repeat with different people
These patterns aren't a character flaw. They're usually learned, shaped by how you experienced safety and connection early on. What once helped you cope may now be what's keeping you stuck.
If this sounds familiar, you may also find it useful to read our post on how childhood emotional neglect shapes attachment wounds and the inner critic.
APPROACH
A More Attuned Approach to Relationship & Boundary Therapy
Attachment therapy isn't about blaming your past, and it isn't about "fixing" you. It's about understanding how your patterns formed, so you can build relationships that feel more honest and secure.
In session we work on:
• How your attachment patterns developed
• How those patterns show up in your relationships today
• What it looks like to set boundaries that feel true to you, not just easier in the moment
• What actually helps you feel safe, connected, and like yourself
We move at your pace. There's no script to follow and no right way to start.
Bountiful Health offers relationship, boundary, and attachment therapy in Orinda, CA, with in-person sessions across the East Bay and online therapy throughout California.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Relationship Challenges, Boundaries & Attachment Wounds
-
Attachment patterns are shaped by early experiences and influence how you connect, trust, and respond to closeness as an adult. They shape everything from how quickly you open up to how you handle conflict.
-
These patterns are learned, and they typically operate below conscious awareness, which is why willpower alone rarely changes them. Therapy helps surface the pattern so you can respond differently.
-
No. Attachment patterns show up in friendships, family relationships, work dynamics, and your relationship with yourself.
-
Sometimes. We explore past experiences when doing so helps explain a pattern showing up in your life now, not as an exercise in dwelling on it.
-
That tension is common. Therapy helps you stay connected to people without losing yourself in the process.
