Couples Therapy
“To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides.”
Why 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.
