Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)
Helping Families Across Montana Strengthen Bonds and Heal Together
What Is Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT)?
Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is a research-backed, attachment-based approach that helps families understand and transform negative interaction patterns. By exploring the emotional underpinnings of family dynamics, EFFT creates a safe space where every member can express their needs, heal relational wounds, and build stronger, more secure bonds.
How EFFT Can Help Your Family
Families face many challenges, from childhood behavioral struggles to teen emotional regulation issues and parent-child relationship difficulties. EFFT helps families by:
✔ Improving Parent-Child Relationships – Helping caregivers respond to their child’s emotional needs in ways that foster security and trust.
✔ Breaking Negative Communication Patterns – Replacing conflict and disconnection with understanding and open communication.
✔ Helping Children & Teens Express Emotions – Creating a safe space where young family members feel heard and supported.
✔ Supporting Families Through Life Transitions – Guiding families through major changes such as divorce, blended family adjustments, loss, and adolescence.
✔ Addressing Behavioral & Emotional Challenges – Helping parents and children navigate anxiety, depression, emotional outbursts, and trauma-related struggles together.
✔ Fostering Emotional Security – Strengthening the foundation of emotional support within the family unit.
EFFT is beneficial for families of all ages and structures, whether you’re working to rebuild trust, improve daily interactions, or navigate a major transition.
