  • We want to address the unconscious, systemic racism that has resulted in a lack of diversity in EFT trainings in Pittsburgh and the EFT world. This rate is designed to encourage participation from people from underrepresented groups whose presence will enrich the training experience for everyone. This rate is available for anyone who fits the following criteria: Those who identify with an underrepresented group (ex: clinicians of color) and/or those who work with historically marginalized communities.

We have done a lot of work so far with Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples and individuals, and now we are so excited to bring you Gail Palmer, one of the leading EFT trainers on Emotionally Focused Therapy with families!
