Couples Therapy

Do any of the following sound familiar?

  • You have the same arguments over and over without any lasting change.

  • You feel like roommates.

  • Sex and intimacy feel strained and like a chore.

  • Past events continue to come up but remain unresolved.

  • You feel that your partner doesn't care about you or that you don't matter.

  • You feel like you're growing apart and want to get the relationship back on track.

  • It feels like your partner should know what you need after all of these years without you having to say so.

  • There has been an affair and you aren't sure what to do to heal the relationship.

  • You have a good relationship but the stressors of life; kids, family, work, finances, moves or an illness have taken a toll. You want to take time to prioritize the relationship and get back that closeness that you once had.

Emotionally Focused Therapy Can Help

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples with communication, healing wounds such as infidelity, deepen your intimate connection, and support you on the path towards more closeness, honesty, and connection.

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?

Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (or EFT) was founded by Dr. Sue Johnson and is rooted in attachment theory. EFT utilizes experiential techniques in session to help couples understand their negative cycles, identify underlying feelings, and effectively express and receive needs and wants without distress.

Benefits of EFT Couples Therapy include:

  • Repairing and rebuilding trust

  • Improving communication

  • Increasing intimacy and affection

  • Resolving past hurts and resentments

  • Resolving conflicts without heated arguments or going silent

  • Creating a feeling of openness, emotional safety and love

“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 to minute and day to day.”

— Dr. Sue Johnson
