Adam Eigner, Ph.D.

My practice is couples-focused, guided by my training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in which I am a Certified clinician* (see below). I also see individuals who want one-on-one support to work on relationship or sexual issues. EFT is a present-focused short-term model. It has excellent research outcome, both short- and long-term. EFT views secure emotional connection as a basic human need,

and couple’s problems as arising when this need is threatened. Guided by EFT, I work with couples to stop patterns threatening their connection and to create new emotional experiences that redefine the relationship as a source of security and comfort. I enjoy seeing couples become closer and consider it a great privilege to assist them in this process. My additional office location is at 1240 Powell St. in Emeryville.
