Whether you’re fresh out of Externship or hovering over the “submit” button on your ICEEFT application, you don’t have to figure this out alone.
I’m Stephanie Cox, MS, LMHC — Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist and EFCT Supervisor. I became certified in about 17 months (instead of the usual 18–36), and now I help other therapists move through that in-between space with more clarity, structure, and kindness.
Below are the ways we can work together, organized by where you are on the path.
Fast-Track EFCT: From Externship to Certification Roadmap
Short, high-level roadmap workshop
Best if you’re:
Post-Externship (or planning it)
Feeling lost about what actually happens between “training” and “certified”
You’ll get:
A 30-minute overview of the certification path
Common pitfalls that add months or years
Clear focus points for skills, supervision, and taping
EFCT Skills Lab Membership
Ongoing skills support & case-focused learning
Best if you’re:
Actively using EFCT with couples
Wanting regular, lower-stakes practice and language for real sessions
You’ll get:
Monthly live skills calls + office hours
Replay library organized by theme (Stage 1, Stage 2, affairs, etc.)
Scripts, prompts, and mini-resources to use in the room
Certification Supervision Pod
Small, time-limited, certification-oriented supervision
Best if you’re:
On the certification path and need supervision that actually moves you toward tapes & application
You’ll get:
A small cohort and ~8 ICEEFT-eligible supervision hours
Focus on Tango, Stage 1/2 work, and identifying “cert couples”
A clearer plan for what to tape and why
EFCT Certification Application Studio
Done-with-you tape & case write-up support
Best if you’re:
Close to applying and overwhelmed by tapes and the written pieces
You’ll get:
Help choosing and refining your tape segments
Guidance on naming Tango/Stage work in clear language
Feedback on your case conceptualization and application narrative
EFCT Certification Accelerator
High-touch, bundled pathway from supervision → tapes → application
Best if you’re:
Seriously committed to certification
Want one coherent process instead of piecing it together over years
You’ll get:
A Certification Supervision Pod
Application Studio support
Select 1:1 sessions and ongoing skills support
A structured, time-limited container to move you meaningfully forward

A little about me...
My name is Stephanie Cox, MS, LMHC. I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Couples Therapist, Supervisor, business owner, author, educator, and mom. I opened the doors of my private practice in 2020 and held my first sessions via telehealth from my closet in my one-bedroom apartment during the Covid-19 pandemic. In the last 5 years I've grown my practice from those humble beginnings to a group practice 2-blocks from the ocean.
I've built the practice from nothing to consistent six-figure earnings and yet my best business decision was getting certified in EFCT.
EFCT is deep, beautiful, and demanding work. The certification process is, too.
Wherever you are—lost after Externship, slowly gathering hours, or nearly ready to submit—there’s a way for us to work together that respects your time, your finances, and your nervous system.
Choose the offer that fits where you are today. We’ll take the next step together from there.
