Love is a constant process of tuning in, connecting, missing and misreading cues, disconnecting, repairing, and finding deeper connection. It is a dance of meeting and parting and finding each other again, minute by minute, and day by day."

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) was created by Dr. Susan Johnson.  EFT is based on 30 years of scientific research. It is a proven, tested, and empirically validated model of psychotherapy. Research shows that 70-75% of distressed couples move to recovery and 90% reported significant improvement.   

Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy works by getting to the root of the problem by exploring and changing the destructive patterns of interaction that keep partners from being able to turn to each other. EFT is based on attachment theory, which states that everyone has a need to feel connected with others. During arguments or fights, couples are unable to understand each other or get along because they do not feel securely or safely connected to each other. EFT helps couples put an end to negative patterns of interaction and communication and create a deeper and more meaningful connection based on trust, understanding, and safety. EFT helps couples find closeness and intimacy in their relationship. It helps end loneliness and pain in relationships.
