Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships, which can help with intimacy and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will review your concerns and goals and suggest which methods to try. Clients and therapist set goals collaboratively and adjust strategies based on what is helping most.
