Our Approach to Individual Therapy
Throughout our therapy practice, including our work with individuals, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), pioneered by Dr. Susan Johnson more than 25 years ago. EFT is a powerful approach and has proven to be highly effective in helping people identify negative patterns, move past self-defeating behaviors, and find the tools within themselves to develop new ways of living, succeeding and meeting their life goals. In studies conducted over the last 20 years, up to 90% of couples participating in EFT have acknowledged significant improvement in their relationships, and 75% have reported complete relationship recovery. The principles of EFT have also been used with great success in individual counseling.

Emotionally Focused Therapy 
EFT with Individuals

We help individuals use EFT to address:

• Relationship difficulties—We can help you address concerns involving the inability to form intimate or meaningful relationships, or anxiety/stress issues related to relationships. We can also help you work through grief or loss issues after the end of a relationship.
  
• Job or work challenges—Our therapists can help you deal with stress, depression, anxiety or confusion relating to job dissatisfaction, the loss of a job, the inability to find fulfilling or meaningful work, or interpersonal interactions on the job.
  
• Grief or loss—We will work with you to cope with the death of a spouse, family member or loved one.
  
• Depression—Our therapists help clients work through feelings related to self-esteem, anxiety, and other self-deprecating behaviors.
