Advanced Training & Certifications – Couples & Families
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples
Emotionally Focused Therapy, EFT, is a specific treatment modality for couples in distress. We look at ongoing dynamics and patterns that continue a negative cycle resulting in feelings of disconnection. The overall goal is to deconstruct these patterns and reconstruct new patterns resulting in connection, intimacy and safety.
Typical Couple Issues that EFT can help with:
- marital distress
- lack of communication
- distance – conflict
- disconnection
- lack sexual intimacy
- infidelity
- substance abuse
- Sex/pornography addiction
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)
EFFT is a type of therapy where we focus with families on restoring family bonds and promote resiliency. In understanding the family distress, we work from an attachment perspective with emphasis on understanding the emotional dynamics that feed into certain family dynamics. We experientially engage the entire family system and promote new daily interactions which decrease relational rigidity and distress.
Our goals are aimed at building strong and cohesive families from the inside out. We find deeper emotional engagement and shared attachment needs and work through the relational injuries that occur with all families.
