Your relationship with yourself matters, too.

Maybe you’ve been looking into couples therapy, only to realize your partner is not interested right now.  Yet you still want to benefit from the Emotionally Focused Therapy model and you feel ready to start your own therapy journey.

Perhaps you’ve started to notice a pattern of people pleasing, emotional avoidance, or repetitive conflicts in your close relationships that is giving you pause.  You’re tired of the issues it seems to cause, but you’re unsure why it keeps happening or how to fix it.

Or maybe you have been dealing with anxiety and overwhelm for so long that you’ve lost trust in your own thoughts and feelings.  You want to reconnect to your sense of self and feel more confident in coping  with intense emotions and relational challenges.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy can help.

 

What does Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT) look like?

EFIT takes place in 3 stages. Each stage has a specific focus that will help you move toward emotional growth and positive change.

Stage 1: Awareness and De-Escalation of Stress.

In this stage, we’ll work together to:

  • Explore your emotional experiences and patterns.

  • Identify and understand how emotions impact your thoughts and behaviors.

  • Begin to unravel the roots of unhelpful patterns.

Stage 2: Reconnection and Restructuring.

In the second stage, you’ll start learning how to:

  • Manage your feelings in healthier ways.

  • Build stronger bonds with yourself and others.

Stage 3: Consolidation of Change.

In this final stage, our work will focus on helping you:

  • Celebrate your progress and new insights.

  • Grow more confident in dealing with tough emotions.

  • Become more resilient and ready for life's challenges.

Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy can help you:

  • Understand the relationship between your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors

  • Expand your internal resources and improve your ability to regulate intense emotions.

  • Experience greater self-understanding and self-trust 

  • Enjoy a healthier relationship with yourself and those you love
