Do you find yourself constantly walking on eggshells, overanalyzing every interaction, and always trying to “seem okay”? Maybe you always feel like you have to make everyone else happy, even if it means putting yourself last?
You’re definitely not alone. And I get it.
I’m Cheryl Groskopf, and I specialize in helping people pleasers and those with insecure attachment styles find peace and confidence. As an attachment therapist in Los Angeles, my attachment therapy is all about boosting your self-esteem, cutting down that anxiety, and helping you build real, healthy relationships.
Ready to start this journey? Let’s dive in.
Hey there, I’m Cheryl Groskopf, an attachment therapist in Los Angeles. You could say I’m a bit of a straight-shooter with a knack for understanding why people do what they do. I use a blend of neuroscience and practical strategies to help you understand how your body reacts to triggers and why you respond the way you do. It’s about connecting the dots between your brain and body to create real, lasting change.
I get it. You want a therapist who understands you, someone who doesn’t just nod and take notes but *actually* gets where you’re coming from. As an experienced attachment therapist in Los Angeles, I’ve helped people pleasers and insecure attachers find their way to a more balanced, fulfilling life.
Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things and looking great on paper, but inside you feel like you’re a mess? Like you’ve got the job, the friends, the Instagram-worthy life, but something still feels off? Everything’s connected—mind & body. To create real change, we need to work on all parts of you. It’s not just about talking – it’s about healing from the inside out so you can feel balanced and whole.
Stress and trauma can get stuck in your body, making you feel tense and anxious. You know that tight chest, knots in your stomach, or shoulders that are literally so tense they literally think they’re earrings? With somatic therapy, we’ll work on releasing that tension. Imagine feeling lighter, more relaxed, and truly at ease in your own skin. It’s about feeling safe and grounded again.
Ever feel like you’ve got different parts of yourself fighting for control? One part of you wants to please everyone, another part is pissed off for always giving in. Maybe another part just wants to say, “Fuck it” and hide. IFS helps you understand these parts and get them working together. It’s like getting all those voices in your head to finally chill out and agree on something.
Attachment therapy isn’t just about digging up your past. It’s about making real changes in your life right now and in the future. Here’s what you can expect:

As an anxiety & attachment therapist in Los Angeles, I specialize in healing insecure attachment in adults.

Individuals who are securely attached are comfortable with intimacy and autonomy, able to form healthy, close relationships, and express their needs and feelings openly.
Maintaining and strengthening relationships, fostering open communication, and dealing with life’s stressors in healthy ways.
Often worried about their relationships, insecure attachers seek closeness and intimacy – but fearful that others do not reciprocate the feeling. Individuals with anxious ambivalent attachment tend to be overly dependent on others for validation.
Building self-esteem, learning to self-soothe, and developing healthier, more autonomous relationships.
Dismissive avoidant attachers value independence and self-sufficiency (often to the extent of avoiding closeness with others). They may seem distant and emotionally unavailable.
Understanding the value of relationships, opening up to intimacy and vulnerability, & balancing independence.
Fearful avoidant attachers, also known as “Disorganized,” are a combination of anxious and avoidant tendencies. You may crave closeness but fear getting too close. You might find yourself in a cycle of pushing others away and then feeling unwanted.
Exploring what contributes to this style, managing fears around intimacy, & developing more consistent approaches to relationships.

Let’s take the first step together towards a life where you’re not constantly second-guessing yourself, where you can say ‘no’ without feeling like the world will end, and where you feel truly comfortable in your own skin.
Attachment therapy is a therapeutic approach designed to explore and address patterns of insecure attachment, fostering healthier connections and emotional well-being. As an attachment therapist, I help you in providing practical tools for navigating relationship challenges.
If you find yourself struggling with persistent feelings of guilt, triggers, or difficulty expressing emotions in your relationships, attachment therapy may be beneficial. It’s particularly useful if you’re seeking more fulfilling and secure connections.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs. I provide research-based techniques to explore attachment patterns, helping you understand and navigate emotional challenges. Sessions are collaborative, aiming to create a secure space for self-reflection and growth.
Attachment therapy is beneficial for both individuals and couples. I provide individual therapy to adults who may be struggling with the effects of an insecure attachment, but i can make recommendations or referrals if you are seeking couples therapy in Los Angeles.
The duration varies based on individual needs and goals. Many of my clients choose longer-term therapy for ongoing support and growth. But remember- no therapist can make a guarantee on how many sessions it will take to be “fully healed.”
Coverage varies, and I recommend to check with your insurance provider. Our team can provide the necessary documentation for potential reimbursement if you have PPO insurance. This would be in the form of a “Superbill.”
Yes, I am currently see all clients online with a HIPAA compliant platform. I am able to see residents living across California (and not just limited to Los Angeles).
