How Do I Find an EFT Therapist?

Finding a therapist in general can be a challenge. 
  1. Ask yourself if you are seeking a therapist just for yourself or if you are looking to do treatment with your partner. 
  2. Ensure you find a therapist who is trained in emotional-focused therapy. All training is completed as a part of ICEEFT. As a client, you can ask the therapist what year they were trained. 
  3. Use a search directory to find an EFT therapist. ​
  4. Once you found a list of therapists, contact them to schedule a free consultation or an appointment. Most therapists do offer a free consultation. ​
