It’s not that you thought building a successful relationship would be easy, but you never expected that your journey would be so damn hard.

You want to enjoy your life and your marriage. You love to make people smile and be happy with you. But after being let down by so many twists and turns in life, you’re slipping away from the people and things you desired the most.

It makes you feel crazy, worried, and on edge.

Sometimes, you see yourself as this angry person who is “the problem” in the relationship.

Other times, when you feel so lonely and hopeless, you avoid everyone as much as you can.

Instead of feeling on top of the world, you feel disappointed, let down, and all alone in your struggles.

The harder you try to express yourself, the harder you fall. You find yourself going through the same painful cycles over and over. It just feels like a dead end. It makes you wonder “What’s the point?”

Questions About Emotionally Focused Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples is a highly effective type of relationship counseling to improve your marriage and deepen your emotional and physical intimacy.
EFT is based on 50 years of research into human bonding and 30 years of research on this form of treatment to help couples build secure and fulfilling relationships.
Research shows that 70-75% of couples are able to heal their marriage and deepen their sense of intimacy in 15-20 sessions and 90% of couples report of a significant improvement.
1. EFT is the Gold Standard of Couple Counseling. It is one of the most effective treatment for distressed couples. EFT often works even when other treatments have failed.

2. EFT gets to the heart of your loneliness and pain in a systemic, attachment-based approach to help you heal your relationship.
3. EFT is NOT about telling you how to communicate or solve conflict better, how to define one’s being right or wrong, or how you “should” behavior a certain way to be “healthy.” In EFT, you and your partner are guided to cultivate and experience moments of deep and secure emotional bonding in your most distressing place. That’s how your permanent, long-lasting changes are created.
4. EFT helps you and your spouse address your core questions that emerge when you’re in an intimate relationship:
Do I matter to my partner?
Can they accept me as who I am?
Can I trust that they will be there for me when I really need them?
Can I count on them to have my back?
Do I feel secure enough in my relationship to relax and be my real, authentic self?
5. In EFT you will learn how to identify and track your negative interaction pattern or cycle that gets in-between you and your spouse, keeping you both in a check-mate position that makes it feel impossible for you to express yourself openly and authentically.
Rather than focus on what you and your spouse argue about, we focus on how you disagree.
If you have experienced relationship distress, EFT may be a good fit for you.
If you prefer a non-blaming type of couples counseling, EFT may be a good fit for you. In EFT you or your partner will not be diagnosed as “the problem” in your marriage. Instead, you will be guided to work together to overcome your negative cycle of interaction that causes you fear, doubt, and distrust.
If you and/or your partner have experienced trauma and been impacted by its influence on your ability to communicate and connect, EFT may be a good fit for you.
If you like to create permanent, long lasting changes, with a low relapse rate, EFT may be a good fit for you.
If you’ve done couples therapy with a different approach and did not feel like you got the outcome you wanted, EFT may be a good fit for you.
