Anabelle Bugatti, LMFT
Marriage & Family Therapist | Claimed

As a couples counselor, therapist and relationship expert in Las Vegas, I have extensive graduate and post graduate level training, as well as additional certifications.

I earned my PhD in marriage and family therapy at Northcentral University, and am the President and local community leader for therapist's learning and training in the model of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My dissertation research focus was on Competing Attachment in romantic relationships and how this impacts relationship satisfaction and security.

I also hold a Bachelors degree in psychology with a minor in marriage and family therapy from UNLV. Additionally, I received my Masters of Science degree in clinical mental health counseling at Long Island University, CW Post Long Island, New York. During my time in New York I participated in extensive training in couple's therapy in addition to completing a clinical internship at a substance abuse counseling center in lower Manhattan.

I hold several certifications in addition to my graduate work. I am a nationally certified counselor and an ICEEFT Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Supervisor and Therapist (EFT). Emotionally Focused Therapy is the gold standard of counseling, and is demonstrated through rigorous outcome research to be the most effective model of counseling, who's interventions and methods are proven to last over time. I continue to maintain the highest level of training in EFT because I want to use what works. Before I became a therapist, I went through marriage counseling, and I'm sorry to say not all of my experiences were positive. I want to offer my clients the best there is and I want to use what's proven to work. EFT is the best there is.

In addition to my experience in couples therapy and marriage counseling, I have training in working with anxiety and stress, and helping those concerned about the direction of their life.
