About Our Therapeutic Process

Our Methods are Research-Based 

Our approach is grounded in clear, explicit research-based information about individual growth, health, and dysfunction, as well as relationship distress and adult love.

Collaboration and Respect

We always take a collaborative and respectful approach, helping clients understand their emotions, manage them, and improve their relationships.

Clear and Specified Interventions

Our change strategies and interventions are well-defined, providing a structured path to healing and growth. The process should not be a mystery.

Mapping the Change Process

Generally speaking, the change process can be mapped into three stages of therapy, including key change events that predict success at the end of therapy [1]. Whether in individuals, couples or families there is usually a stabilization stage, what's known as a restructuring stage, and then finally a consolidation stage. Your therapist will be aware of where they are in this process of change.

Validated Through Research

Our methods, particularly Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), have been validated by over 30 years of empirical, peer-reviewed outcome research [2]. Here is more information about what EFT is.

Addressing Individual and Relationship Needs

Whether you are seeking individual therapy with us to address personal challenges or couples therapy to improve your relationship, our attachment-based approach can help:

  • Individual Therapy
    • We help individuals heal from past attachment wounds, enhance emotional regulation, and build healthier relationships. Our primary goal, put simply, is for every individual we work to become more self-accepting and self-aware.
  • Couples Therapy
    • We assist couples in understanding and transforming their rigid patterns that block communication. This experience fosters deeper emotional connections, trust and better conflict resolution.
