Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Most couples fall into rough times in their relationship regardless of the care they have for each other. It is natural to have concerns and complaints about our partner and quite common for relationship traumas to occur such as addiction, abuse, and infidelity. EFT provides an effective framework to heal from past ruptures, communicate more effectively, and move forward into a relationship that is based on lasting connection. 

​

Created in the 1980s by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg, EFT is most commonly applied to relationships and is based on de-escalating conflict and recognizing and expressing emotions and unmet needs. EFT works by changing the way that the couple communicates in order to establish a secure and healthy attachment.

EFT can also be used in individual sessions with its focus on emotions and how they affect the client's thoughts and behaviors. If you would like to utilize the benefits of EFT in your therapy, please consult with your clinician.
