If you have a minute watch this interview with Dr. Susan Johnson. Please know that the research and the concepts presented by Dr. Johnson in this interview are the foundational components of Emotionally Focused Therapy which is the therapy model practiced at Couples Therapy Spokane.

Pre-Marital Therapy:  Private assessment, education and guidance for couples planning to marry.  This therapy is focused on prevention and enhancing the qualities of the relationship while identifying potential areas of concern.

Couples and Marriage Therapy:  At Couples Therapy Spokane only evidence based therapeutic interventions are used for treatment plans.  Our therapy protocol and coaching strategies are based on the most current research available in couples therapy including  Adult Attachment Theory,  Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT) and  the couples research and healthy relationship principles of Dr. John Gottman.

Research is Important!  Choose your therapist and the model of therapy he or she practices carefully.

EFT has been tested in random trails on many occasions with all kinds of clients and with exceptionally stable long-term effects.  It is a fact that EFT has shown the largest effect size in rigorous studies of any intervention for couples available.
