Therapeutic Resources from ATTACh

Registered Members

ATTACh, the leading international attachment education and advocacy association, has a registration process for attachment therapy professionals. A major goal of this registry is to help the parents and guardians of children with attachment difficulties learn about qualified treatment professionals.

Those who have completed the registration process have met specific objective requirements as outlined on the clinical membership application, and have agreed to abide by ATTACh's Practice Standards as outlined in their Professional Practice Manual. As an organization representing parents as well as professionals, ATTACh wanted to find way to help families who desperately are seeking therapy for their children. These registered clinical members are offered as a resource for families with the understanding that families will use discretion when selecting a therapist.
