The Greenberg Institute of Emotion Focused Therapy is committed to advancing the growth and responsible dissemination of Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) through rigorous, accessible, and high-quality training. We aim to support clinicians in developing competence and confidence in working directly with emotion while fostering a collaborative and inclusive EFT community grounded in clinical excellence and ethical practice.
We envision a professional homebase for a community of local and international clinicians who are confident and skilled in their work with emotion. We aspire to contribute to a future in which working directly with emotion is central to psychotherapeutic practice and supported by rigorous and ethical training, supervision, and leadership.
We value human potential, self-actualization, the human experience, and social harmony.
We value the synthesis of multiple disciplines of knowledge and practice that promote working with emotion through a transtheoretical lens.
We value the development of knowledge and skills for clinicians and their clients; we value our collective contributions to the field of psychotherapy; and we value training that is useful, practical, and improves clinical practice and client outcomes.
We value a high standard of ethical practice and rigorous training that is informed by the latest scientific research about emotion and the change process.
