The Pittsburgh Community for EFT is a network of psychotherapists located across the greater Pittsburgh area in private practices and in larger agencies who all share an interest in practicing Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT). It was founded by Karin Arnds, Dipl. Psych, LMFT as a way to build community, share struggles and triumphs in our work with couples, help each other learn and grow as therapists, and encourage new generations of couples therapists to utilize Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. 

Starting as just a concept in her office with one or two members in 2015, the Community has grown in numbers and interest month to month. It is run by a board made up of therapists who volunteer our time to further the mission of building the EFT community, providing trainings in EFT, and increasing the number of therapists who offer EFT to couples in the greater Pittsburgh area.
