Cultivating a secure relationship doesn't have to be hard and you don't have to do it alone!
Anything is possible with INDIVIDUAL SUPPORT!
Are you tired of feeling confused and uncertain in your relationships? Do you find yourself constantly seeking validation from others and struggling to trust your own instincts?
I bet you’re also feeling frustrated and hopeless about the time and money you might’ve spent on self-help and therapy, but none of it has led to significant changes in your love life.
Am I close?
The #1 secret to
is decoding your attachment styles
Your attachment style is a blueprint that acts as a compass for how much closeness or space you desire when it comes to emotional intimacy.
Your attachment styles affect you on the level of:
- The deepest recesses of your survival (Limbic) brain...
- The stimulation of your nervous system...
- Your genetic inheritance…
- A chemical cocktail of naturally-occurring neurotransmitters that create a euphoric attachment to inconsistent partners — like a drug addiction!
But the brain has “plasticity”—meaning it’s malleable, and can shift your attachment style!
With the focused attention and individualized guidance and support of private coaching, you can overcome your insecurities, build self-confidence, and develop the skills and mindset necessary for thriving in all areas of your life.
“After only 3 sessions with Briana, I cried (multiple times) for the scared little girl in me. I actually had a feeling that I matter and that I am loved. I felt a sense of love and compassion for myself. Thank you, Briana. I’m finally able to go deeper and heal.”
-Fatima Patel, 36
“I am astounded by Briana’s grasp of attachment. This comes from someone (albeit a layman) who has read voraciously on the subject for 7 years, now. There is insight and detailed explanations with individual sessions, that simply can’t be found anywhere else…The level of clarity is beyond anything I could’ve anticipated.”
-Jim Lewandowski, 42
“I can’t tell you what a BIG difference it made to understand why and how my insecurities were convincing me I needed explanations from men that just did not deserve my energy. Only 6 sessions with Briana cleared up a lifetime of confusion around certain family dynamics that always perplexed me. The best part is the eperientials, though. The MacWilliam Method cuts through the BS quickly and effectively. Just make sure you’re ready!”
-Elizabeth Zhou, 34
Hi, my name is Briana MacWilliam, and I am a licensed and board-certified creative arts therapist, with more than 15 years in the field, working with individuals, just like you.
Using a psycho-spiritual approach to attachment styles (which are 4 unique blueprints for how you give and receive love), I help insecure lovers go from self-doubting to self-sovereign, to cultivate those soul-shaking, passionate partnerships they want, without having to talk in circles for years on end, with no tangible result. And I do this, using my unique service, The MacWilliam Method™.
This method is informed by my certifications in Reiki Healing, EFT Tapping, and trauma-informed somatic therapy. The goal is to integrate mind, body and spirit through cognitive reframing, body-based interventions, and arts-based experientials. With this three-pronged approach, you will see radical transformations happen quickly, with long-lasting affects.
But it’s not just my professional experiences that inform my unique method. Attachment styles and healing attachment wounds is a topic so near and dear to my heart, because I don’t just teach this stuff, I’ve lived it. You can learn more about my personal journey here.
What Makes My Approach Different
I help individuals struggling with insecure attachment go from self-doubting to self-sovereign, with my unique service:
The MacWilliam Method™ (TMM) is a service that utilizes a psycho-spiritual approach to applying creative arts interventions, through the framework of attachment theory. TMM is informed by evidence-based practices in attachment and trauma research but is rooted in creative arts interventions as the primary healing modality.
The directives in my online courses have been modified for experiential learning, coupled with live support and discussion in private Facebook group forums.
TMM is composed of three principal tools to address mind, body, and spirit:
#1 Cognitive Reframing
Raise conscious awareness through cognitive reframing, so you can re-write painful narratives and create an openness to receiving the love you want.
#2 Body Activation
With a blend of guided imagery, basic movement, and sound healing, we gently titrate all that anxious energy stored up in your body to build new neural networks in a healthier framework, using the language of the body and the unconscious.
#3 Arts-Based Experientials
Through creative expression, we externalize the inner world and achieve self-sovereignty by being in dialogue with the Authentic Self.
- OUTLINING YOUR OBJECTIVES for our work together, so we can make sure we are addressing your concerns, throughout...
- TAILORED RECOMMENDATIONS to your specified needs ...
- EXPERIENTIAL EXERCISES and ENERGY HEALING particularly in the instance of trauma...
- CREATIVITY DEVELOPMENT and FUN approaches to healing that recover your inner child...
- Individualized assistance completing mining SCRIPTS for EFT TAPPING and FOCUS WHEEL exercises to reframe negative thoughts and limiting beliefs...
- The ability to ASK QUESTIONS IN REAL TIME and gain a deeper understanding with focused discourse and exploration in each session...
- YOUR OWN RECORDING of each session...
- An EVALUATION of your progress and RECOMMENDATIONS, if additional treatment modalities are indicated, (particularly in the instance of trauma).
"WHAT'S IT LIKE IN A PRIVATE SESSION?"
Here are some examples of what it's like to work with me privately.
"How can I trust if love is genuine or manipulative?"
In her adult relationships, she finds it difficult to provide the affection or words of affirmation that her partners desire, because it’s hard for her to discern when bids for connection stem from genuine love and regard, or manipulative intentions. By the ended of the call she was “calm, fascinated, and impressed” with what she experienced, and ended the call feeling hopeful for the future.
"How do I get over my cheating ex?"
Lonnie had done a lot of personal healing work after her long-time, on-again-off-again boyfriend had cheated on her. Despite the anger and hurt she felt, she still found herself fantasizing about getting back together with him. In this call, Lonnie was able to glean some guidance and wisdom from her guardian angel. By the end, she was in tears, and surprised by how much better she felt!
"How do I reduce dating anxiety as a single mom?"
Amelia shares her experience of dialoguing with her parts to reduce dating anxiety, as a single mom of three teenage children. By the end of our exploration, Amelia has new ideas about what would help her move forward with dating logistics, and also an unexpected insight into the impact that complicated grief may have on her “mom guilt” after losing her mother to cancer.
After working with me, you’ll have the tools to go from…
- SUPPRESSING YOUR NEEDS, to VOICING THEM WITH CONFIDENCE, without fear of your partner running away or emotionally punishing you.
- DOUBTING YOUR FEELINGS to TRUSTING YOUR INTUITION, vs. a “triggered” emotional response.
- WAITING HOURS, DAYS OR WEEKS for a return text or phone call, to GETTING A RESPONSE RIGHT AWAY, from someone who not only responds to you, but also initiates contact with you.
- WORRYING ABOUT A WANDERING EYE, to COMPLETE CONFIDENCE IN YOUR PARTNER’S LOYALTY, because you know you have their rapt attention (the type of relentless devotion you only see in romance novels and Hollywood movies).
- FEELING OBJECTIFIED OR USED, to experiencing sex & emotional intimacy as A UNIFIED, SENSUAL, SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE.
- BEGGING AFTER BREADCRUMBS to CREATING EXCITING PLANS FOR THE FUTURE & watching your partner make them happen as soon as possible.
- BEING FRIEND ZONED, to going on ROMANTIC TRAVELS VACATIONS TOGETHER, and experiencing deeper levels of intimacy with heartfelt, long-term commitment.
- FEELING SMOTHERED OR DESPERATE, to FEELING INDEPENDENTLY VITAL AND PASSIONATE, so you are always bubbling over with new things to share & talk about!
But don’t take my word for it—watch these testimonials from folks that have taken my courses, and worked with me personally...
"For the first time in my life, I feel secure... Briana has a much deeper understanding of attachment styles than most of the renowned experts have."
Kairi
"I just think if anybody is struggling with a rollercoaster relationship, a push and pull dynamic, something where you find yourself wanting to be in one minute and out the next... this is the most helpful course. It's super powerful, and I would say, just do it!"
Stacy De La Rosa
“This program has done for me in 7 weeks what years of self-help books and cognitive therapy couldn’t do.”
Kim Nava

More than that, it’s even probable, once you decide and commit to living nothing less than a next-level life, and committing to the processes that will set you on that path. The good news is, the tools you might need are relatively simple. And the MOST crucial information that you will need on this journey already exists INSIDE YOU.
Negative energy and defensive patterning that keep you stuck in a confusion cycle around attachment styles CAN be transformed and healed so that you can RELAX into the brightest luminescence that is your spirit. It is a process that will allow you to step into a state of being on FIYAH about life, and share that brilliance with a stars-in-their-eyes lover.
More testimonials from folks that have taken my courses, and worked with me personally...
“There’s a way that Briana approaches disorganized attachment that is healing and life-giving; you’re not this disconnected freak that nobody is ever going to understand, you’re not lost out there. This is just part of your story. And there are ways to work it out in healthy, functional, good ways.”
Joe
"This course is not about getting your ex back, it is all about getting yourself back. This is an investment in something important, YOU. You could spend a lot more money on books and other programs (like I've done) and find your wheels spinning. If you do take the course, make the most of it, take your time and do every step and don't hold back when it comes to expressing your feelings creatively, you might surprise yourself."
Keturah Jordan
“I gained a deep understanding of ‘the anxious avoidant trap’...and how both of us were playing a role in this push-pull dynamic, specifically around breadcrumbing. And once there was a trigger, how some of those little things were pulling us back together or pushing us further apart. I had also described the “ecstasy” and the “anguish” of this relationship, and it was interesting to learn how that’s really what was happening on the neurochemical level... Don’t even question it, just dive in. The feeling that I have now, is one of hope.”
Jordan
Just imagine, what if instead of feeling stuck in codependent patterns, agonizing over a dismal dating scene, wasting your energy worrying about red flags, and feeling confused over how to be compassionate without compromising your needs, you might be able to…
TRUST
your intuition & feel IN CONTROL when insecurity or a trigger pops up out of nowhere.
SQUASH
“automatic negative thoughts” – before they spiral out of control.
SIT BACK & RELAX
while a potential partner takes the initiative to call you first, and frequently plans your activities together.
UPGRADE
from bending over backwards to please everyone around you, to fortifying your boundaries and knowing when and how to say “no” when you need to.
SPEAK AUTHENTICALLY
& vulnerably to friends, family, and co-workers without them dismissing or invalidating your feelings.
EXPERIENCE
conflicts as opportunities for deepening intimacy and understanding with your love ones of every description.
LET GO
of a fear of not being good enough, so you can finally attract & allow yourself to RECEIVE the gifts of a life that lights you on fiyah!

“Briana’s work has clarified so many things for me. Especially with emotional and physical boundaries. I have a history of trauma, and this felt like a very clear and creative way to address my confusion around boundaries. Thank you, Briana!”
Mandi Cole, 33
“I have seen a lot of things online that talk about “codependency” and “narcissism” but Briana breaks this down in a very clear and nonjudgmental way, for the laymen. The activities she offers are fun to do, and I feel like I have a stronger grasp of what my triggers are when it comes to personal boundaries. Highly recommend her work.”
Nick Patten, 42
“Briana’s approach is full of information and very practical. My favorite exercise we did was ‘The Healing Tree.’ Whenever I am feeling anxious, I make one and it calms me right down. I have so many of them now!”

Frequently Asked Questions
At this time, I am not able to accommodate private psycho therapy clients, including private consultations.
While I am a licensed and board-certified psychotherapist, private coaching sessions are not considered psychotherapy, and it is not covered under insurance, but I anticipate you will experience some psychotherapeutic benefit, in the realms of self-help and personal growth.
Important to note: If you are struggling with active psychosis, severe mental illness, self harming behaviors, suicidality, or recent hospitalization, I recommend seeking help with another trauma-informed psychotherapist, who is available for long-term treatment.
I recommend accessing your insurance carrier for referrals for practitioners that are trained in such modalities as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Experiencing (SE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and/or Creative Arts Therapies (including dance/movement, drama, music, or art).
All of these approaches are typically trauma-informed and have attachment focused interventions that incorporate body activation and cognitive reframing.
Psychotherapy provides long-term treatment in an empathic holding environment. The therapist generally follows the impulses and inclinations of the client, in guiding the therapeutic process and establishing a rapport. Depending on the therapist’s theoretical orientation, emotional changes and insight occur through the evolution of the therapeutic relationship. Techniques and psycho-education may be offered and explored, but it is secondary to the relationship being established between practitioner and client. For many individuals that struggle with insecure attachment, long-term psychotherapy is truly the first and best step for them.
Private coaching is short-term and goal oriented. In my role as a coach, I deliver techniques for you to use independently or in supplementation to psychotherapy. Our sessions will be structured and directive, built upon my unique approach The MacWilliam Method (TM). My guidance is a response to what I observe your own spirit to be articulating, through the techniques we may use. The relationship that is developed is similar to short-term mentorship. If longer-term treatment is indicated, I will also make those recommendations and referrals, after our time has ended.
