Hello and welcome to Creating Healthy Connections where love, attachment and connection combine together to bring you close to those that matter most.  

Effective EFT Teletherapy/Telehealth helps couples connect more deeply and securely in their own homes. 

 If you landed on this site you are in need for  relationship help, whether you and your partner live in Annapolis, Baltimore or anywhere in Maryland.

There are moments where you may feel you are lost and alone in a dark, dreary cave of disconnection.  Misunderstood and frustrated, you reach in the best way you know how, only to feel rejected, angry or alone once again.  Overtime your anger increases as you try to be seen and heard. Instead, your partner retreats further into the cave or lashes out in return, leaving you both feeling more alone and isolated.  This becomes an unending patten which neither of you can break, so you remain stuck in pain and disconnection.

Here’s the astounding news, there is a way out of these horrible cycles, thanks to the therapeutic process known as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  Carol Corcoran is the only Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist in Anne Arundel County and she brings those skills to you.

EFT Supportive Research


Creating Healthy Connections specializes in helping relationships connect with Emotionally Focused Therapy 

Couples struggle with a variety of issues, everything from communication blocks,  intimacy problems, infidelity, parenting challenges, and more. Knowing where to turn for help can be a daunting task. Most couples don’t seek help until six years into the relationship because it can be so challenging to find someone to help as well as the fear of taking that initial step.

Here at CHC, you will be working with a highly skilled, Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapist, who brings almost 30 years of clinical, and relationship expertise, and who is specifically trained and certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).  EFT is one of the most well researched and effective attachment therapies developed to help relationships with a 70-90% success rate.  With the ICEEFT Certification, CHC did far more than taking a few trainings to learn to work with couples.

EFT is based on the science and research of adult attachment.  It turns out we are hard-wired for love and attachment from conception on.  This approach, utilized in the here-and-now, helps create a safe and secure haven in order to  help explore and express underlying feelings, as well as to  process needs and longings, safely with one another.  To learn more go to Couples-EFT.com 

While online doing Teletherapy/Telehealth, Carol utilizes a HIPAA secure platform to protect your safety and confidentiality.  She has found this format to be very effective in helping couples understand and tame their negative cycles and deeply connect within their own home.

If you are ready to bridge the gap of disconnection and move towards a secure, loving and fulfilling relationship, please contact CHC today.  Come out of the dark and into the light with your significant other by your side.

Certified EFT Therapist

As a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist specialized in working with couples in distress, there is an entire section of this website devoted to ‘EFT’ right here: What is EFT and why is being a Certified EFT Therapist so important?

EFT, when provided in a safe, compassionate and supportive way, is a form of therapy that is specifically focused on helping partners and their loved ones create deep levels of love and attachment, which is unlike any other form of couple therapy. Previously, CHC trained in CBT and other forms of therapy and found Emotionally Focused Therapy to be far more effective in creating positive change and connection for partners, even if they were struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD and adjustment issues, to name a few. EFT also has substantial research to back it up. It is for these reasons CHC work exclusively with this well researched and efficacious, attachment, based therapy known as Emotionally Focused Therapy rather than applying an ‘eclectic’ approach.

Please be aware, even if the therapist is EFT trained, it is necessary for the therapist to provide a warm, supportive and compassionate space in order for you and yours to feel safe and secure in the therapeutic process. Without the safety, the therapy may be stalled or ineffective. During this process, we will explore your respective emotions, the behaviors fueled by those emotions, and the perceptions you have about each other, in order to better understand your negative interactive cycles. Once there is safety from the negative cycles, we can work to deepen your connection further by healing old wounds that may be still be hurting, in a safe, compassionate, collaborative way.
