Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is an evidence-based, attachment-focused approach that helps individuals, couples, and families strengthen emotional bonds and break out of patterns that create disconnection. EFT guides patients in identifying core emotions, understanding relationship patterns, and developing healthier, more responsive ways of interacting.
At our clinic, EFT is often integrated with Gottman Method approaches to provide a well-rounded, research-supported foundation for improving relationships. The Gottman Method focuses on communication skills, relationship repair strategies, and strengthening friendship and trust—all of which complement EFT’s emphasis on emotional connection and secure bonding.
Together, these approaches help patients:
Understand the deeper emotions driving conflict or distance
Improve communication through clearer expression and active listening
Break negative interaction cycles and establish secure emotional bonds
Strengthen trust, friendship, and shared meaning
Build lasting resilience in their relationships
EFT is one of the most effective treatments for relationship distress. Research shows that 70–75% of couples move from conflict to recovery, and about 90% of couples receiving EFT report significant improvements in relationship satisfaction, emotional connection, and reduced distress.
If you are seeking a therapeutic approach that promotes healing, clarity, and meaningful connection, EFT—enhanced with Gottman Method interventions—offers a proven and compassionate path forward. Contact us today to schedule a session.
