How Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Heals Relationships

EFT is a structured, research-backed approach that helps families:

Resolve long-standing conflicts

Improve communication and connection

Heal from trauma and addiction

Create secure, lasting bonds

Move from distress to recovery

“Ed is an incredibly skilled and gifted therapist. He creates a warm, safe and non-judgmental space that has truly allowed me to get into a place of vulnerability and explore parts of myself, fears, and insecurities, that I haven’t always felt safe exploring with past therapists.

Ed has a unique ability to make you feel seen, supported and accepted, while at the same time guiding you toward growth and healing. I highly recommend Ed for your therapy journey.”

– Jenn B, Orlando FL
