Couple Therapy

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for Couples

The gold standard of couple therapy, EFT is highly effective at reducing couple distress, and strengthening the attachment bond that characterizes love-based relationships. While practicing EFT for couples, Justin works with you and your partner to identify the behaviours you each enact that keep you stuck in cycles of conflict in your relationship while also supporting each of you in unearthing the deeper, more tender emotions that often drive these hurtful cycles of reactivity and/or withdrawal. It can be incredibly moving when these more vulnerable experiences are shared in therapy. And when a partner is prepared to witness and understand these experiences, conflict de-escalates and greater closeness becomes possible. Justin works with each of you to understand and accept these tender aspects of your partner’s experience so that you each become less reactive with one another and your bond becomes more secure.
