Transforming relationships for life

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a science-based therapy designed to help couples and families form meaningful connections and secure attachments for a lifetime of love. With an incredibly high success rate, EFT is backed by over 20 years of rigorous research and boasts proven results in restoring the relationships that matter most.

AZEFT is an affiliated Center of the International Center of Excellence for Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT). Our volunteer Board is committed to offering EFT education and training to our stellar community of mental health professionals, so that Arizona couples, families, and individuals can heal their most precious relationships.
