Emotionally-Focused Therapy for Couples
(EFT)

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) isn't about quick band-aid fixes; it's a deep dive into understanding the currents of your relationship, and ultimately, building a more sustainable trusting bond. And when it comes to results, EFT truly stands out. The research is compelling: a remarkable 70-75% of couples using this approach move from deep distress to genuine recovery, and nearly 90% see significant improvements in their relationship.

At its core, EFT helps clients create a more secure connection with one another. When that bond strengthens, you'll naturally find greater trust and intimacy blooming, fostering a deeper sense of connection and commitment between partners. A big plus with EFT is how it empowers people to understand and express their emotions and needs in ways that actually build up their relationships, rather than tearing them down. It's also effective at smoothing out communication snags, helping conversations flow more freely and genuinely.

So, if you're looking to cultivate richer, more fulfilling connections, EFT offers a powerful pathway. Rooted in humanistic psychology,  EFT is an integrative and experiential therapy, drawing from attachment psychology and systemic-relational therapy. This means we prioritize the interpersonal dynamics within social and family circles. In EFT, we'll work together to unpack how your relationships shape your emotional well-being, and how your own emotional landscape influences those crucial connections.

As an experiential therapy, EFT isn't just about talking about emotions; it's about experiencing them and making sense of them right there, in the moment. EFT therapists often engage in somatic and focusing exercises and techniques designed to help you truly connect with what you're experiencing, giving you a clearer map of how to get unstuck.
​
Time and again, EFT has proven itself to be a highly effective form of therapy for a wide array of emotional and relational challenges. Clients often report improved emotional regulation and expression, a wonderful surge in intimacy and connection within their relationships, and a newfound resilience and stability in their emotional lives.

Are you ready to stop asking "should I stay or should I go?" and start building a relationship where you truly want to stay?​
