Because your life isn't like anyone else's your therapy shouldn't be either. Your therapy is designed to fit your needs, strengths, vulnerabilities, and personality.
I offer a flexible array of therapeutic approaches providing both short-term problem-focused therapy and long-term attachment-based therapy.
My training includes behavioral, CBT, DBT, EMDR, emotion focused, psychodynamic, object-relations, and Jungian therapies. I draw from each of these areas to create the best approach for you.
I work with many who have had previous treatment failures. For trauma recovery and for severe mental illness expect your therapy to be long-term. I'll be with you for the long-haul.

Book & Published Research
Disorganized Romantic Attachment: An Integrative Model
I spent over six years researching (over 2 decades treating) couples who would NOT offer their partners a kind word of support, a show of interest in their thoughts and feelings, and refused to imagine that their partner's internal world was different than their own.
- Every marital therapist has encountered them--over 40% of couples presenting for therapy fall into this category.
- I was so perplexed that people would not or could not do even the simplest things to make life better for their partner.
MY BOOK is an exploration of origins of this phenomenon from the environmental, cognitive, emotional, intra- and interpersonal perspectives.
- It is an explanation of how it all holds together and the best ways of trying to untangle it all.
- What I found was three predictable patterns of engagement that just happen to map to the patterns of John Gottman's intractable couples.
Gottman and I took very different paths to arrive at the same conclusions. He did years of rigorous behavioral analysis while I searched the vast body of theoretical and behavioral literature.
In almost all cases, one or both individuals in these devastating patterns have trauma histories.

PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY
Disorganized Romantic Attachement: An Intergrative Model
Rosemary Bannon Tyksinski, PhD
VDM Verlag
2009
Chronic patterns of hostile and disorganized controlling behaviors account for more than half of the most destructive interactions experienced by couples in romantic relationships.
These behaviors are often accompanied by affective reactivity, and a confusing, chaotic dynamic of inter-subjective distortions.
Dr. Rosemary Bannon Tyksinski is the first to trace three distinct disorganized attachment trajectories from infancy, childhood, and adolescence to adulthood.
In this book she describes the long-term consequences of disorganized attachment as it affects adult cognition, affect, and behavior the ultimate impact on romantic relationships.
She presents an Integrative Model of Adult Romantic Attachment that synthesizes empirical findings from studies across the lifespan. She integrates these findings with both the 3- and 4-category models of adult attachment.
PUBLISHER' SUMMARY and couples therapists will benefit from Dr. Tyksinski's innovative, organized approach to understanding and treating this difficult population.
