The Ainsworth Clinic provides evaluation, intervention-planning, and intervention-consultation for children from birth through adolescence who have experienced significant challenges or disruptions to their relationships and attachment bonds with their parents or other caregivers. Among the children who benefit from these services are those in foster care or adoptive care, those having difficulties with custody and visitation arrangements, and those whose families have experienced a traumatic event. The Clinic uses the Circle of Security Model, an evidence based intervention designed to strengthen secure attachment between children and their caregivers.
