Family Therapy
Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is an evidence-based parent-/caregiver-focused therapy developed by Drs. Adele Lafrance and Joanne Dolhanty that harnesses the parent-child relationship to help parents support their young/teenage children:

  • cope with challenging behaviours and/or mental health symptoms (e.g. anxiety, depression)
  • transition through stressful life events (e.g. divorce)
  • process challenging emotions and emotional pain
  • heal ruptures and 
  • let go of the weight of old injuries in the parent-child relationship
  • receive their parents' help more effectively by helping parents/caregivers process inner obstacles that may be impacting their best efforts to parent

Parents and caregivers can learn these skills and take on these roles regardless of their child’s level of motivation or involvement in formal treatment. EFFT can be delivered with individuals only, parents and caregivers only, and with families.
