Creating Connection

Four Day Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

The Four Day EFT Externship is the most comprehensive and basic level of training and education in EFT, taught by an ICEEFT registered trainer. An externship includes observation of actual couple sessions, presentations of theory and clinical techniques, skills training exercises, and discussion of specific cases, clinical material and issues.

Who should attend?​ The externship is recommended to all professionals who counsel couples, including psychiatrists, psychologists, family physicians, social workers, psychiatric nurses, counselors, pastors and clergy, and students training in these professions.

Participants learn to:​ See marital distress from an attachment perspective, help partners reprocess the emotional responses that maintain marital distress, shape key new interaction and bonding events, and overcome therapeutic impasses. Participants are strongly encouraged to read the 2004 book on EFT - Creating Connections, before coming to the externship.

Equity Scholarships

As we become more aware of the impact institutionalized racism has on our nation and on our community, we are committed to taking active steps to address the racial disparity which exists in mental health treatment. In an attempt to begin righting historical and current inequalities, we commit to offering Equity Scholarships to clinicians who identify as, or predominantly serve clients from historically marginalized people groups. This Equity Scholarship will allow you to participate in the training at a discounted rate of $200.
