EFFT- Emotion Focused Family Therapy

CONFLICT happens, and EFFT can help transform these patterns

Parenting challenges are REAL & STRESSFUL. EFFT helps parents feel empowered and confident.

Parenting has it's roller coaster experiences. The excitement, the joy, the deep loving connection warms your soul.  The moments that you may never want to talk about, yet you find yourself searching Google, seeking answers, and asking parents how they succeeded with these challenges. Things may seem like they help at times, and then they don’t help. You feel helpless and fearful of what comes next. 

All too often treatment for youth and even adult children focuses only on the person who is experiencing the problem. Where are these supports when you are in the throws of tensions running high, and patiences running thin, lost in a sea of emotions yourself, unsure how to "fix" the situation?

Maybe your child has. yelled the all to familiar words of "I hate you. You never understand me." It stings to your heart, and leaves you feeling like you have to try harder. You love them, and just want the best for them. Maybe you've known that your child is self-harming and you want to help them stop.
