Couples Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a well-known humanistic approach to psychotherapy formulated in the 1980’s and developed in tandem with the science of adult attachment, a profound developmental theory of personality and intimate relationships. Attachment views human beings as innately relational, social and wired for intimate bonding with others. The EFT model prioritizes emotion and emotional regulation as the key organizing agents in individual experience and key relationship interactions.​

​In EFT for couples, the therapist works to unpack and make the dysfunctional relational cycle obvious to the couple and help both partners understand each other's role in the dynamic. From understanding, empathy can grow and safety can be established to reconstruct together a new and healthier relationship cycle.
