Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples is the fastest growing evidenced-based approach to treating couple distress in the world. Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, the EFT Model is based on the Science of Emotions, Attachment Theory, Humanistic Psychology and Family Systems Theory. EFT helps couples move from distress in their relationship to a safer, more loving and fulfilling relationship. “In my 40 plus years of doing marital therapy, I have never been able to help highly conflicted couples move from disconnection to a deep, loving bond so effectively as when I learned EFT.” (Murray Armstrong)
