Services
EFT Training
EFT training provides therapists with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively practice Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Therapists learn the core principles of EFT, including understanding and responding to emotional communication, identifying and transforming negative interaction patterns, and fostering secure emotional bonds.
EFT Supervision
Multicultural EFT supervision focuses on guiding therapists in integrating cultural sensitivity and inclusivity into their practice of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). It emphasizes understanding and addressing the impact of cultural factors, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and socioeconomic status, on the therapeutic process.
Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) by a multicultural therapist integrates the core principles of EFT, a short-term, evidence-based approach to couples and individual therapy, with a deep understanding of how cultural factors, such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and socioeconomic status, shape individuals’ emotions, relationships, and experiences. This approach recognizes that emotional expression and attachment needs vary across cultures and strives to create a safe and affirming space for clients from diverse backgrounds to explore their emotions, address relationship challenges, and build deeper, more fulfilling connections. By incorporating cultural sensitivity and inclusivity into the therapeutic process, multicultural EFT therapists aim to enhance the effectiveness and cultural relevance of this powerful therapeutic approach.

A Rewarding Partnership with Emotionally Focused Therapy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a powerful approach that has demonstrated significant effectiveness in both couple and individual therapy. In EFCT, the focus is on understanding and addressing the emotional bonds within a relationship, helping couples reconnect and heal. EFIT, on the other hand, applies similar principles to individual therapy, assisting clients in understanding and managing their own emotional experiences and attachment patterns.
Psychotherapy, at its core, is a deeply human endeavor. While grounded in robust clinical science, its success hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship. A strong therapeutic alliance, characterized by trust, empathy, and collaboration, is crucial for positive outcomes.
Therefore, I believe in fostering an open and supportive environment where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I understand that sharing personal experiences can be challenging, and I deeply respect your vulnerability. However, I encourage you to share your stories, both the joyful and the difficult, as they provide invaluable insights into your inner world and help us work together towards meaningful change.
Resources For Therapists
Emotionally Focused Therapy with African American Couples
Love Heals is an essential guide that integrates emotionally focused therapy (EFT) with cultural humility. It provides a pathbreaking, evidence-based model of a couple’s work that reinforces the bond between partners in the face of race-based distress.
Guillory explores and brings a deep understanding of the legacy of racial trauma, and the cultural strengths of African American couples by using real-life case studies. The chapters in the book focus on several key clinical issues in the field, such as communication problems, anxiety, infidelity, depression, and porn. Each case study is enhanced by consultation with EFT master therapist Sue Johnson.
The book is an essential text for students and mental health professionals looking to provide culturally competent therapeutic interventions. It will also appeal to psychologists, mental health workers, social workers, marriage and family therapists, and religious leaders.
