Distancing. Panic. Criticism. Anger. Have these coping styles sabotaged your relationship? With Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), couples can once again find the path to secure connection by learning how buried emotions drive negative patterns and cause disconnection. They begin to tune in to the relational needs their emotions are signaling, and learn to express and respond to needs in a healthy way. Guided by an EFT therapist, couples learn to communicate effectively around difficult topics, restoring connection and understanding.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based and structured approach to family therapy based on the science of adult attachment and bonding which gets to the heart of the secure relationship connection that we each seek in our lives. Since establishing this groundbreaking method in the 1980’s, Dr. Johnson and her colleagues have further developed and refined the model through a substantial growing body of research.

Numerous studies show continued, long-term effectiveness of EFT. Research studies find that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and approximately 90% show significant improvements. EFT is used successfully with couples, families, and individuals in private practice, university training centers, and hospital clinics throughout the world.
