We are a group of mental health professionals who practice and study Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and families. We strive to build healthy relationships through ongoing education and mutual support. Our community values ongoing continuing learning and supporting each other in our growth.

OUR MISSION

Support practitioners of EFT and to continue to help them refine skills through training and peer support.

Reach out to the larger community of therapists to introduce them to EFT, its benefits, and provide training opportunities.

Communicate with couples and families in crisis and let them know that EFT can help them move away from distress toward secure, resilient relationships.
