Complex Relationship Therapy

Support for confusing or painful relationship patterns

Some relationships are hard to explain from the outside.

Complex relationships can involve intense attachment, repeated conflict, confusion, betrayal, emotional shutdown, power struggles, family wounds, trauma bonds, or patterns that feel hard to leave and hard to stay in.

Complex relationship therapy with Kaelynn Buchanan at KAE Days Counseling helps you slow down, make sense of the pattern, reconnect with your own needs, and move toward healthier boundaries and choices.
