Who We Are

Central Texas Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy (CTEFTC) seeks to promote the mission of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy ("ICEEFT"), which is dedicated to the understanding and enhancement of couple and family relationships through an emphasis on emotions and their interpersonal impact.

 

We are a community of licensed mental health professionals who seek to give the best care to our couples and families as well as individuals, which we believe is best accomplished using Emotionally Focused Therapy, or EFT.  We strive to build a collaborative community through ongoing education and support by meeting quarterly as well as through special presentations and workshop. 

Our Mission

We seek to bring greater awareness of EFT to the professional counseling, marriage and family, social work, psychology and ministerial professions in Central Texas so as to grow this community so that more and more people can benefit from Emotionally Focused Therapy.

What We Do

We are a group of like-minded professionals who share a passion for EFT and who seek to enlarge our community through meetings trainings, and give common support for all professionals who desire to learn about EFT and develop and further grow in their knowledge of EFT.  We support and promote local EFT Externships, Core Skills trainings and Hold Me Tight © workshops as well as put on quarterly seminars (with CEUs) and additional workshops.  Our desire is to create a caring EFT community for all EFT therapists and therapists who seek to know more about EFT.

ICEEFT Stance on diversity

​

We aim to cultivate a climate of inclusion, an environment where all can feel safe, valued, cared for, and given an opportunity to form meaningful connections with each other. In all facets of our work we strive to embody what we hope to see in the world - a just, loving humanity and community in which people are free to be themselves fully - where people can embrace their most basic universal human attachment needs without fear of persecution or marginalization as a result of religion, race, ethnic or national origin, sexual orientation, gender expression, age, class, mental health, physical character or disability. These values are inherent in the attachment science and humanistic approach to intervention that all our work is based on.

​

Specifically, humanistic approaches such as EFT are collaborative and respectful. We create a safe place for people and treat them as persons not problems or types. Our approach is non-pathologizing in practice. Our values are inclusive and egalitarian while viewing human connection as sacred-something to be honored and cultivated. Our scientific and theoretical base outlines key universals, emotion and attachment, while respecting individual differences.
