The Mother Daughter relationship is our primary bond, and is so powerful, it influences all of our future relationships, self-esteem, and our health. As we raise our daughters today, the positive connections we foster with them will provide the foundation for them to become strong, resilient women.

Grandmothers, Mothers, Daughters!
From our mothers we learned about relationships with self and others; attitudes towards family, work, play, money spirituality, health; the importance of communication and education.

We're happy to offer Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Sessions for both Couples and Families!

Hear from Psychology Today on how EFT works:
"EFT focuses on the present time to makes changes in the here and now. There are three steps, or stages, of EFT. The first is to de-escalate the couple’s or family member’s negative cycle of interactions, and help them see and understand what is happening in their relationship. Clients come to see that the problems lie in insecurities and distance. The next stage is to restructure interactions, wherein the therapist helps clients discuss their fears in the relationship, using language that doesn’t push the other away. Clients learn to turn toward each other and discuss their needs and they become more open and responsive to each other. Consolidation is the third stage of EFT, wherein the therapist helps clients see how they got into negative patterns and points out how they were able to change those patterns and can continue these types of conversations in the future"
