​Emotionally Focused Family Therapy at Cumberland

What Is Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)?

Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is a proven, research-based approach designed to help families rebuild emotional connections and foster resilience. Rooted in attachment theory, EFFT focuses on creating secure family patterns and repairing emotional bonds, equipping families with the tools they need to navigate challenges and thrive together.

 

At The Relationship House at Cumberland, our family therapists are trained and supervised in EFFT, ensuring they bring specialized skills and knowledge to facilitate meaningful change within your family system. Serving the North Metro Atlanta area, our team is here to support your family in cultivating stronger, healthier relationships.

How Can EFFT Help Your Family?

Through EFFT, parents and caregivers become more emotionally available, engaged, and responsive to their children’s needs. This approach helps reduce distressing behaviors in children and adolescents by addressing relational blocks, restoring emotional balance, and promoting healthier communication patterns.
