Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, the Most Powerful Couples Method

Shortly afterward we participated in a Couples Intensive weekend as a couple. During the Intensive we were amazed by the power of the format, watching couples experience major breakthroughs in their relationships! We began training in the two-day model immediately and have been leading couples through our two-day Couples Intensive ever since.

Before becoming therapists each of us experienced a time of significant distress. At that time we each sought our own personal therapy and through it found real help and relief. These experiences inspired each of us to enter the field to be able to help others the way we were helped.

Unlike other techniques for couples therapy, EFT focuses on identifying and transforming the underlying emotional patterns that drive conflict, helping couples build stronger and more secure bonds.  

Over 20 years ago, we saw a few couples together since we had both started doing marriage counseling. We found right away that for us, having two professionals in the room is more effective. And our clients loved it, and continue to appreciate our model. We have practiced “couples counseling together” ever since.
