Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is considered the gold standard for couples therapy due to its high success rate and rigorous research backing. Based on attachment theory, EFT helps couples understand and change negative interaction cycles by focusing on emotional connection, fostering secure attachment, and improving communication. Through this process, partners learn how to access and express their vulnerable emotions, fostering greater empathy, trust, and intimacy.
If you're ready to improve communication and create a resilient partnership, EFT often provides couples the experience of feeling more understood, valued, and loved.

WHY COUPLES THERAPY?
A Troubled Marriage Can Certainly Affect Your Mental Health, But It Is Not Considered a Mental Illness
Couples or marriage counseling is typically not covered by most standard insurance plans. As a private pay clinician for couples, you will be responsible for making full payment upfront. However, similar to other healthcare services, therapy is considered a medical expense, which may qualify as a tax write-off or be paid for using your pre-tax Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA). If appropriate, you may also receive some reimbursement from your out-of-network (OON) benefits if we choose to work with your insurance company.

03. Let’s Begin…
In couples therapy, you and your partner will work to identify and understand negative interaction patterns, while also learning to clearly define and express your own thoughts, feelings, wishes, and desires. The process will also focus on the ability to tolerate and accept each other's differences, fostering healthier communication and connection.
You don't have to wait until challenges arise to prioritize your relationship. Taking a proactive approach, particularly for engaged and newly married couples can be an empowering way to strengthen your connection from the start. Taking the time to learn your relationship’s strengths and challenges and practicing the moves to foster a deeper understanding for one another can bring laughter, self-awareness, and accountability—elements that all contribute to increasing intimacy and deepening your bond.
Investing in your relationship early creates a solid foundation for a fulfilling, resilient partnership that can grow with you over time.
