Evidence-Based Individual Therapy
What Is Emotionally Focused Therapy?
Emotionally focused therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals strengthen their emotional connections. Developed by Sue Johnson and based on attachment theory, EFT focuses on how emotions and emotional responses shape how we interact with the people closest to us. At its core, EFT helps you gain insight into how emotions drive your interactions, leading to greater emotional understanding, improved communication, and ultimately, stronger, more fulfilling relationships.
Our compassionate approach to EFT emphasizes the potential for growth, healing, and deeper emotional connection. We support you through empathy and expert guidance on this transformative journey, helping you build the emotional security you need to form lasting, meaningful relationships.
We offer in-person and online emotionally focused therapy at our Uptown/Lower Queen Anne office. Schedule a free consultation today.

INDIVIDUAL EFT BENEFITS
Benefits of Individual EFT Therapy
While EFT is often associated with couples, it is also an effective tool for individual therapy. It provides the tools to build emotional strength and prepare for healthier relationships in the future. Adapting the core principles of EFT for couples, it helps individuals explore and transform their emotional patterns, providing a pathway for healing personal wounds, improving emotional regulation, and developing healthier ways of relating to others.
In individual therapy, EFT focuses on understanding how attachment patterns and past experiences shape your emotional responses, whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficulty forming meaningful relationships. By addressing emotions in a supportive and non-judgmental space, you can develop greater self-compassion and emotional resilience, especially for those who have experienced childhood trauma, loss, or betrayal.
Whether you’re seeking to address personal struggles or improve your relationships, EFT can help you navigate the emotional challenges holding you back and support you in building a more fulfilling, connected life.

What EFT Can Help With
EFT can help you with:
Anger
Often, anger is a secondary emotion, masking deeper fears or feelings of inadequacy. Through EFT, you can explore the underlying emotions and sources of anger, learn to express vulnerability, and replace defensive reactions and secondary emotions with understanding and compassion.
Fear
Fear of abandonment or disconnection can undermine trust and create distance in relationships. EFT addresses these attachment-related fears by helping you express your need for reassurance and closeness to create emotional safety in your relationships.
Grief
Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a life stage, or even an aspect of your relationships, grief can profoundly affect how people connect. EFT provides a space to process grief, allowing you to understand and empathize with the emotional experience of others.

TAILORED TO YOU
1. Build a Safe Space
Therapy is a secure and non-judgmental environment where you can share your emotions openly. Our therapists ensure you feel heard and validated, fostering a sense of safety that allows for emotional exploration.
2. Understand Relationship Patterns
Next, we identify cycles of emotional responses that perpetuate disconnection, leading to conflict or distance in your relationships. By recognizing these dynamics, you can begin to understand why certain behaviors or interactions trigger emotional reactions.
3. Explore Deeper Emotions
EFT focuses on identifying and expressing the deeper emotions often hidden beneath the surface, including fear, sadness, or a longing for connection that drives negative behaviors. Uncovering these core emotions helps you identify and understand your emotional needs.
4. Create New Ways to Connect
With greater emotional understanding comes the opportunity to create new, healthier ways of interacting. In EFT, we develop positive emotional exchanges that replace negative patterns and develop relationship satisfaction.
5. Tailored to You
Each EFT session is tailored to your individual needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking to heal a specific issue or improve your overall emotional connection, your emotionally focused therapist will adjust to ensure your sessions address individual and relational goals.
