The Pittsburgh Community for EFT is a network of psychotherapists located across the greater Pittsburgh area who all share an interest in practicing Emotionally Focused 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, individuals, and families, help each other learn and grow as therapists, and encourage new generations of therapists to utilize Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). 

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 in the greater Pittsburgh area.
