You’re not lost. The EFCT path is just… not well marked.
If you love Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy but feel unsure how to turn trainings and supervision into real confidence (and eventually certification), you’re in the right place.
I’m Stephanie Cox, MS, LMHC — Certified EFCT therapist and Supervisor. I help EFCT & couples therapists move from:
“I'm interested in this model but I feel lost,”
to
“I know what I’m working on and where I’m headed.”
Below, pick the box that sounds most like you and I’ll show you your best next step.
As clinicians we can hem and haw all day about our career aspirations, but you hold in your hands the power to take action that makes you a more effective, more confident, more profitable clinician, starting today. If you were to take inventory, where do you see yourself right now?
You're a therapist who works with couples, you dabble in gottman, and know about EFCT but not enough to take the leap of committing to it. You need a foundational education to make an educated decision for your career.
You know enough EFCT to be using some of the techniques in session. Maybe you've attended a training, or even completed Externship or Core Skills but you're still in the "learning curve" era of applying this rich model to the point where you can see consistent results with your couples.
You’ve done the trainings and started supervision. Certification is a real goal, but the process feels foggy and slow. Your couples keep getting stuck. You may benefit from joining my next Supervision Pod.
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
Maybe you have recordings, maybe you need to refine them, but you’re staring at the ICEEFT application, trying to choose clips and write about your work without panicking. Apply for my application studio, where through a short course of sessions we get your application in the best place it can be for submission.
You just need 1:1 help and you're tired of piecemail support that's slowing you down. If you want help auditing your process, and getting certified start to finish, and everything in between, apply for my EFCT Certification Accelerator.
A therapist who doesn't want to suck at her job
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.
Want ready-made resources to give your couples?
The EFCT Model is strictly experiential and these guides and resources are not meant for certification purposes but sometimes the reality is that our couples do not come with the pre-requisite emotional readiness to do the heavy lifting of emotional vulnerability and understanding.
These resources are meant to supplement personal growth and education for your clients. The main agent of change, however, is the experiential work of the EFCT Model.
