Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) is a collaborative and empathic approach that guides individuals in accessing and working with their emotions in a transformative way.
Our therapists at Toronto Psychological Services utilize EFT to help clients relieve distress, improve communication, and overcome challenges in life.
EFT emphasizes the adaptive function of emotions and the importance of attending to them as a source of meaning and growth. Our therapists help clients identify, understand, and manage emotions effectively, facilitating the transformation of unhealthy emotional states such as depression, anxiety, and shame.
In EFT sessions, clients are guided to actively experience their emotions in a safe environment, learning to use them as a guide to meet important needs and goals. Therapists assist clients in developing healthy emotional skills and accessing resilient parts of themselves to change maladaptive emotional patterns.
Backed by extensive research, EFT has proven to be highly effective in treating depression, trauma, couples conflict, and interpersonal problems. It is as effective as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in short-term depression treatment and is highly successful in preventing relapse.
Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy is a brief, evidence-based couples therapy focused on attachment and emotion theories. It helps couples communicate effectively, understand underlying needs, and build strong bonds through self-soothing and emotional awareness.
At Toronto Psychological Services, we offer Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy for individuals seeking relief from depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Additionally, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy helps families improve empathy and communication, fostering greater attachment and security.
In addition to EFT, our experienced therapists provide a range of therapeutic approaches. Whether you’re an individual, couple, or family seeking therapy, our team is here to support you on your journey to emotional well-being.
