EFT, or emotionally focused couples therapy, is one of the leading, researched-based couples therapy models developed by Dr. Sue Johnson (author of Hold Me Tight and Love Sense). Restore therapists utilize this effective, attachment-based model when relevant to the couple in distress. As with any other type of counseling, the marital / couples approach depends on the couples’ revealed needs and goals, but EFT has been proven time and again in its lasting effectiveness in improving relationship satisfaction and in restoring the bond and connection between partners.
