We are honored to highlight this list of EFT trained therapists who participate with our community. Each clinician has their own practice and own availability, so please contact a clinician who might fit your needs (we cannot guarantee clinician availability). 

This list is separated into different categories to mirror the ICEEFT website: Certified EFT Therapists, Core Skills completed Therapists, and Externship completed Therapists.

Certified EFT Therapist

Certified therapists have completed all required trainings, completed EFT supervision with a supervisor, and had their clinical work reviewed by ICEEFT.

Core Skills Completed

Therapists who completed the Core Skills first completed the 25-30 hour Externship training and then the 48 hour Core Skills training. These therapists may or may not be in EFT Supervision with a supervisor and on the road to certification.

Externship Completed

Therapists who complete the Externship have a basic understanding of EFT after completing the 25-30 hour intensive four day training. They are interested in EFT and they may or may not continue on to complete the Core Skills training.

With the addition of EFIT and EFFT, we also have added training markers to label which of our PghEFT Community therapists have been trained in EFIT Level 1 or Level 2 or EFFT Level 1 or Level 2. There are currently no unique certification programs for EFIT or EFFT.
