Couples Therapy

Dr. Justice refers to Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and the research conducted at the Gottman Institute to enhance her couples work. EFT employs elements of person-centered therapy, systemic therapy, and attachment theory to help couples create healing bonds within their relationship that may facilitate more constructive communication. Similarly, Gottman’s findings, from his 40 years of research on effective relationships, help couples to build skills to increase intimacy and decrease negative behaviors that may lead to fractured relationships.
