Dr. Conrad and her team bring a special sense of warmth and understanding to the couples and families they work with using Emotionally Focused Therapy, the most empirically validated and effective treatment for couples today. We at the Couple and Family Institute of Tri-Cities are all trained in this form of treatment. We help couples reduce their distress and find security with each other by going to the heart of the matter, the attachment system of the couple and changing their view of each other in a more loving, accepting, and forgiving way. Couples frequently get caught up in negative patterns that take over their relationship and they lose the sense of love and connection they once had. Couples don't realize that it is the negative dynamic between them that has caused them to lose a sense of their love for each other and belies the love that is really underneath their distress. Using this highly effective (73% success results based on research, 90% improvement) treatment modality, we at CFIT can help couples get out of the distress, see the dynamic that has taken them over, and find their way back to a loving and connected relationship. We are also trained to work with individuals who are in distress with depression or anxiety, or who have experienced traumatic events in their lives and need support and therapeutic help to find their way back to healthy functioning.
