Emotionally Focused Therapy

Using EFT, we focus on emotions and attachment within family relationships. Help family members express and understand their emotions, leading to increased intimacy and connection.

Multigenerational Family Therapy

With this approach, we examine patterns and issues that span multiple generations. Therapists explore how past family dynamics influence the present and work to break harmful cycles.
