Couples come in for therapy as a preventative because they are actively distressed, or somewhere in between.
Many couples seeking therapy still love each other, but wonder how they got to where they are.
At times, couples feel hopeless about their relationship, as if nothing will ever change. They find themselves in negative argument patterns that just don’t seem to get better. They wonder if their partner cares or loves them. Sometimes couples wonder if they should even stay together.

Communication challenges
Life Transitions

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a short-term (8-20 sessions depending on the level of distress), structured therapy.
Studies find that 70-75% of couples move from distress to recovery and 90% show significant improvement. It is a present-focused, non-blaming, humanistic, and client-centered model. It is currently the most researched and validated therapy in the last 25 years. EFT works with many different types of problems and populations.
Couples therapy can be tremendously helpful for couples going through all sorts of challenges. It can offer a safe space to work through issues that you can’t seem to clear on your own.
