Emotionally Focused Therapy for Children at Cumberland
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy for Children?
At The Relationship House, located in Cumberland and serving families throughout North Metro Atlanta, we believe children flourish in environments where they feel emotionally safe, understood, and connected. EFT Informed Child Therapy integrates attachment-based principles with the power of play to help children navigate emotional challenges, strengthen their resilience, and deepen their connections with caregivers.
​
Play is a child’s natural language and an essential tool for processing emotions, exploring relationships, and building confidence. Through play therapy, children gain a safe space to express themselves, work through challenges, and develop healthy emotional regulation skills. Simultaneously, our approach integrates parents and caregivers into the therapeutic process, ensuring the work done in therapy extends into the family dynamic and promotes lasting change.
How EFT for Children Can Help?
​Children often express emotional struggles through behavior, play, or interactions with others. EFT for Children uses play as a medium for uncovering underlying emotional needs and fostering a sense of safety and belonging. By involving parents and caregivers in the therapeutic process, we create a collaborative environment where the entire family grows stronger together.
