Support For Therapists

Clinical support, training, and resources for working with complex trauma, attachment wounds, and relational systems

For the clinicians who work at the intersection of trauma history, attachment injury, and relational dynamics, whoknow that many therapeutic challenges don’t fit neat models.

Patterns repeat. Conflict escalates or disappears. One partner shuts down while the other pursues. These aren’t surface-level challenges — they’re relationship nervous systems in motion.

This space is for therapists seeking support with:

trauma-informed couples work
attachment-wound dynamics
mixed-agenda relationships
stuck couples sessions
therapeutic clarity in complex systems

I offer training, clinical consultation, and therapist resources grounded in attachment-based trauma work, Discernment Counseling, and Relational Life Therapy (RLT). Everything here is designed to help you think clinically with precision, intervene with intention, and stay regulated when the work is demanding and layered.

How I Support Therapists…

Training & Workshops

Clinically grounded trainings for therapists working with trauma, attachment wounds, and stuck relational dynamics.

Topics include:

Complex trauma and attachment wounds in clinical practice
Divorce ambivalence and mixed-agenda work
Discernment Counseling as a relational intervention
Money Maps for therapists: a reflection on our money attachment patterns
Integrative practices for trauma in relationships (parts work + somatics + RLT)

Available virtually or in person — from short trainings to half-day and full-day formats.

Clinical Consultation

Case consultation for therapists working with relational systems shaped by trauma, attachment injury, or entrenched survival patterns.

Consultation is especially helpful when:

Partners are polarized, withdrawn, or cycling between rupture and repair
Trauma histories or neurodivergence are driving the dynamic
Couples therapy feels repetitive, fragile, or stalled
You’re deciding whether discernment, couples work, or individual treatment is the most ethical next step

This consultation is designed to be focused, collaborative, and supportive of your clinical judgment rather than replacing it.

Advanced Discernment

Advanced discernment support for therapists working with mixed-agenda couples and relational systems shaped by trauma and attachment injury.

This work is especially helpful when:

Clinicians are newer to Discernment and want support applying the model
Trauma histories, attachment wounds, or power dynamics complicate the discernment process
Therapists feel uncertain about containment, pacing, or when repair work is premature

This support includes consultation and advanced training informed by the updated Discernment Counseling model and is designed to deepen clarity, containment, and ethical decision-making.

Therapist Resources

A growing library of tools for therapists working with trauma-impacted relational systems, discernment cases and complicated dynamics.

This growing library includes:

Discernment frameworks
Tools for emotional shutdown and relational “walls”
Reflection prompts and high-conflict support resources
Practitioner-usable worksheets
Financial calculators for therapists

Because, if I wasn’t a therapists, my dream job would be to open a library/bookstore cafe that centers trauma healing through stories.

I’m Lyn Martin, LMFT, founder of Attached NY. I work clinically with individuals and couples navigating attachment injuries, complex trauma, and major relational turning points. I also teach therapists how to approach this work with steadiness, clarity, and ethical precision.

My approach integrates attachment-based trauma treatment, Relational Life Therapy, and Discernment Counseling. I’m particularly focused on helping therapists move out of endless cycles and into interventions that align with what the nervous system, and the relationship, can realistically hold.

This work isn’t about applying more techniques. It’s about understanding the adaptive logic underneath the pattern and choosing interventions that don’t cause additional harm.
