Our Services
Over the last 25 years, Emotionally Focused Therapy has been adapted to be used with not only couples, but also with individuals and families.
Couples Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) seeks to create a feeling of safety between relationship partners. When trust has been built, couples work together to uncover emotions that have been left unexpressed, oftentimes inducing negative patterns and promoting conflict between partners and stress in other facets of life. When those emotions are acknowledged and expressed, couples can work together to meet each other’s affective desires and effectively communicate feelings (The EFT Clinic).
Individual Therapy
Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) helps individuals explore the dominant emotions and patterns in their lives to uncover underlying needs and suppressed feelings. Our therapists guide individuals through the process of recognizing and validating those thoughts and desires to promote healing. We will also teach clients methods of communication that will aid in promoting healthy relationships in the future (The EFT Clinic). Therapists at RCA are uniquely prepared to help individuals process their emotions and prepare for or strengthen their relationships.
Family Therapy
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) seeks to create a feeling of trust, mutual respect, and strong communication within families. When all family members feel emotionally secure in family discussions, together they are able to discuss issues and disclose feelings. With each member feeling heard and validated, the family can work together to find solutions to problems and build individual relationships between all members. Families will emerge from EEFT sessions armed with the communication techniques necessary to maintain healthy interactions and develop positive relationships outside the family in the future (The EFT Clinic).
