Emotionally Focused Family Therapy Consultation Group

About The Event

We need more therapists who feel confident working with families, and we want to keep raising the bar on the work we do.

Join Tara Verhagen, EFFT Certified Therapist, and Rachel Thomas, EFT Trainer, for an online consultation group focused on using Emotionally Focused Family Therapy with families that include adolescents ages 12 and older and adult children.

Through clinical video review, case consultation, experiential exercises, and supportive feedback, you will strengthen your understanding of EFFT and your ability to use the model in your sessions. You will have the opportunity to:

  • See the power of the EFFT model in action
  • Watch and learn from clinical videos
  • Bring your own family therapy cases for consultation
  • Receive practical feedback you can use in your sessions
  • Practice EFFT interventions through experiential learning
  • Connect with other therapists who care about providing quality family therapy

Whether you are newer to family work or want to deepen the work you are already doing, this group will help you feel more grounded and effective in the room with families.

Participants have preferably completed EFFT Essentials. This group focuses on families with adolescents ages 12 and older or adult children. It is not designed for clinical work with children under age 12.
