Welcome to The Attachment Place
The Attachment Place (TAP) was founded to provide help and support for children, pre-teens, teens, and young adults who exhibit difficult and/or destructive behaviors that inhibit their relationships with those around them. TAP addresses each situation with a tailored approach and specializes in three primary areas:
Help creating a safe space for voices to be heard, training in therapeutic parenting techniques, and assistance creating structure and accountability. In addition, TAP works with extended family and family friends to build understanding and a support system.
Provides a look at the child and family in their, environment over several days. This allows family dynamics and environmental triggers to be assessed and addressed and strategies to be developed and applied with the guidance of an in-home coach in real-time.
With TAP’s RTC (Residential Treatment Center) Transitional Services are for children who have successfully finished a residential program and are transitioning home. These services are designed to help the child continue their success at home.

Sharon Fuller began her journey with developmental trauma disorder (DTD), and reactive attachment disorder (RAD) fifteen years ago when she and her husband first adopted. At the time, they had six biological children and no knowledge of early childhood trauma or how the adoption experience would literally change the course of their lives. As a result of the early childhood trauma and institutional living that their adopted children endured, adoption took their family into the world of attachment challenges, PTSD, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) and a variety of other disorders. These diagnoses and related behaviors drove Sharon into research and education which led to her becoming an expert in how to best help children from difficult places. As she began to understand more about how trauma affects the brain and behaviors and how to help her children with these challenges, a passion grew in her to help other families struggling with these same issues.
The Attachment Place, LLC (TAP) was started out of this passion to help other adopted children and families so that they didn’t have to feel isolated and alone and could begin to hope and heal. TAP, formally a therapeutic respite home founded by Sharon provided short and long-term respite to children who were struggling to trust and attach to their parents. TAP housed and helped close to one hundred children and their families between 2012 and 2019. In November 2019 TAP had a business pivot. Although TAP’s focus is no longer respite, Sharon currently uses her expertise to provide individual, parent and family coaching, mentoring, in-home services and residential treatment center transitional services as well as workshops and trainings.
I will NEVER forget meeting Sharon for the first time. Everything I said to her seemed to make sense to her and she began to explain the why behind the myriad of questions that I did not even know to ask.
After my first interview with Sharon, there was no doubt in my mind that she was the person to coach and mentor my daughter and I.
Sharon has the unique ability to speak with understanding into both my experience as a mother, and the experience of my daughter as an adopted child. She helped my daughter with practical ideas for healthy coping strategies and ways to change her unhealthy thinking.
Sharon is a fantastic mentor and coach. Unreservedly, and with utmost gratitude for the help she has given our family, I recommend her services.
