EFFT helps families build stronger emotional bonds. This therapy looks beyond surface behaviors to address feelings and needs. Each family member feels heard and supported. Our therapists guide families to respond with more compassion and trust, especially during tough times. EFFT is great for parents facing a child's emotional or behavioral challenges, helping them feel more confident and connected. Simply put: EFFT moves families from conflict to understanding and closeness.
You don’t have to wait for a crisis to seek support. Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) might be a good fit if any of these sound familiar:
If any of these resonate with you, EFFT can help create more calm, connection, and confidence in your family relationships.
At Layers Counseling Specialists, our EFFT-trained therapists provide a supportive and structured environment where your family can explore and heal emotional patterns. We're committed to helping your family achieve lasting change by fostering deeper emotional bonds. In EFFT sessions, our therapists guide your family through a process of understanding underlying emotions, identifying negative interaction cycles, and developing new, more supportive ways of relating to one another. The focus is on creating secure emotional attachments, which are fundamental to family well-being.
Whether your family is dealing with a new medical diagnosis, the impact of a chronic illness, or significant life changes, EFFT provides a framework to process emotions and strengthen your collective coping mechanisms.
If you're supporting a child or teen struggling with emotional or behavioral challenges, including those related to an eating disorder, EFFT helps you respond with greater confidence and compassion, building a more secure and responsive bond.
For families experiencing chronic tension, communication breakdowns, or a general sense of disconnection, EFFT offers a path to emotional safety, open dialogue, and a renewed sense of closeness.
