This June, we celebrate the beautiful diversity, resilience, and joy of our LGBTQIA+ community. As an EFT community rooted in the science of attachment and the transformative power of connection, we stand proudly in support of love in all its forms and identities.

Pride is both a celebration and a continued call to action—a reminder that safety, visibility, and dignity are not guaranteed for everyone. At EFTCLA, we are committed to cultivating an inclusive space where all therapists and clients, especially those from historically made-to-be marginalized communities, feel seen, supported, and empowered.

Throughout this month and beyond, we invite you to:

*Reflect on how your work holds space for q***r and trans clients and supervisees
*Seek out voices, stories, and trainings led by LGBTQIA+ therapists and leaders
*Celebrate the courage and authenticity that lives in our community
*Honor the ongoing fight for equity and liberation, in and beyond the therapy room

Celebrate Pride in Los Angeles

We are grateful for the richness that q***r identities bring to our professional community—and to our collective healing.

This live Zoom workshop will explore how subtle ADHD traits can show up in couples therapy—and how these often-missed behaviors may drive disconnection in the cycle. Grazel Garcia, LMFT, Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor Candidate, will guide us in identifying these patterns and offer tools for working with coupels through a neurodiverse-affirming lens.

As a community of therapists devoted to the learning and practice of Emotionally Focused Therapy, we are united by a shared mission: to foster connection, healing, and growth for the individuals, couples, and families we serve. At the heart of this work lies a deep commitment to making EFT training accessible and to ensuring that all who seek to learn and practice this model feel truly welcome and included.

Our organization is built on the values of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. We believe that our field is strengthened when a broad range of voices, perspectives, and lived experiences are represented. We also recognize that financial barriers should not stand in the way of learning, and we are committed to creating opportunities that allow more therapists—regardless of background or economic means—to access high-quality training and support.

In today’s challenging climate, it feels more important than ever to re-assert and fortify our mission and values. As therapists, we know that healing begins when people feel seen, valued, and understood. We hold this same vision for our professional community and for the future of EFT.

Thank you for being a part of this mission. Your dedication to this work and to each other is what makes our community so strong.

Ready for another episode of Leaning Into EFT? I am excited to have Virginia Walls, EFT Supervisor from Florida, with us. Virginia will bring us into the EFIT process of healing Complex Trauma, as she skillfully paces her work with this client as she addresses dissociation and extreme traumatic reactive behaviors, and moves the client to a state of greater emotional regulation, engagement and presence.
