What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?
The Relationship House at Cumberland provides high-quality therapy services in North Metro Atlanta through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), offering specialized Couples Therapy, Family Therapy, and Individual Therapy. Grounded in an attachment-based and trauma-informed approach, we create a safe, secure environment for couples, individuals, and families to work through and effectively resolve personal and relational issues.
​
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a powerful therapeutic approach for distressed couples, families, and individuals, integrating the science of attachment to promote emotional, mental, and relational well-being. Attachment-based therapy has expanded our understanding of love relationships and family bonds, viewing humans as inherently relational and wired for intimate connections with others.
​
The EFT model honors our biological need to build and maintain secure emotional ties with our partners and loved ones. By focusing on the key emotions shaping our experiences and intimate bonds, we work to foster a sense of security that enables individuals, couples, and families to cope with life’s challenges. In relationships, we seek positive answers to questions like “Are you there for me?” and “Do I matter to you?”—assurances that our loved ones are accessible, responsive, and engaged.
​
EFT has proven highly effective in treating relationship issues, anxiety, depression, stress, attachment concerns, and trauma. Recognized by the American Psychological Association (APA) as meeting the gold standard for evidence-based couples therapy, EFT has also been adapted to support individuals and families. The Relationship House at Cumberland offers Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), and Emotionally Focused-informed Sex Therapy.​​
