Reconnect. Deepen your bond. Heal the cycle.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) in NY & CA
A proven, attachment-based model for couples and individuals to build secure emotional connection, reduce conflict and create lasting intimacy.
Who is EFT for:
Recurrent negative cycles in your relationship: criticism-withdrawal, fight-flight, stonewalling, emotional disengagement.
Feeling disconnected, unseen, lonely in your relationship despite being together.
Wounds of attachment: one or both partners feeling unsafe to express vulnerability, fear of rejection, or having an avoidant/anxious dynamic.
Wanting to repair trust after breach (infidelity, trauma, chronic conflict) and rebuild deeper attachment.
A desire for more than communication skills: you want emotional healing, renewed connection, and a stronger secure bond.
EFT views relationship distress as arising from unmet attachment needs, emotional disconnection, and rigid interaction patterns that lock partners into negative cycles.
What can EFT do for me?
Interrupt harmful cycles and access the underlying feelings of fear, abandonment, longing, rather than staying in surface arguments or criticism.
Strengthen emotional accessibility and responsiveness between partners—leading to increased trust, safety, intimacy.
Repair attachment injuries and build secure bonds that act as the foundation for resilience and healthy conflict resolution.
Apply the model in couples, individual and family contexts—making it versatile for many relational scenarios.
Experience measurable improvements: research shows EFT meets evidence-based criteria and produces sustainable change in couple relationships.
Hear from our EFT couples :
We absolutely love Janine! She came highly recommended to us by a friend who saw her for couple therapy. She really made us feel comfortable.
- P & R, NYC
Janine was our couples therapist during a rough period in our marriage. We had seen two couples therapists and didn’t feel like it helped. Our time with Janine brought us back from what felt like a point of no return. We are really grateful to have found her.
- Mei & James, CA
Hard to think where we would be without couples therapy! I’m anxious and my husband is avoidant and we kept triggering each other. We really learned about how to be kind to each other. What amazing progress.

The EFT approach:
-
Identify negative interaction cycles, underlying emotions and attachment fears. Shift focus away from blame and toward underlying emotional needs.
-
Encourage partners to share vulnerable emotions (hurt, fear, longing), be emotionally accessible, and respond to each other’s needs in new ways—re-creating connection rather than falling into old fights.
-
Solidify new interaction patterns, build strategies to maintain secure attachment, expand the gains into everyday life.
