Relationship Help
Couples Therapy
If you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in repetitive conflicts, and questioning whether you can regain the intimacy you once had, therapy can help you rebuild communication and break harmful cycles together. Carol has the distinction of being a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist (EFCT).
Premarital Counseling
As your commitment deepens, you may sense something is off, but instead of ignoring it and letting negative patterns grow, premarital therapy can help you strengthen your connection and avoid future challenges.
Infidelity Counseling
Discovering an affair can feel devastating, but with Emotionally Focused Therapy, you can start to heal, understand disconnection cycles, and rebuild a stronger, more meaningful connection with your partner.
Family Counseling
EFT family counseling helps parents and adult children repair old wounds, break cycles of disconnection, and form stronger, healthier connections. Your family can heal and move forward with renewed trust and closeness. Carol has the distinction of being a Certified Emotionally Focused Family Therapist (EFFT).
Here at Creating Healthy Connections, we specialize in helping relationships connect with an amazing process known as Emotionally Focused Therapy – one of the most well-researched attachment-based therapies on the planet.
