EFT is for couples, families, and individuals. Success in counseling looks like identifying the patterns that keep you stuck, learning your deeper underlying emotions, identifying and owning your needs, and helping you have courage to risk and share your life fully and intentionally with your life partner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/1619328035116-C64067Z7WYY1K0FMM7AW/joanna-nix-walkup-H3giPYTXsyk-unsplash.jpg Home - Finding Yourself. In individual counseling we find the significant messages around your struggle, including the meanings and anxieties that keep you disconnected and stuck. We identify the patterns and behaviors you engage in and make meaning around why you do what you do. As clarity is created it makes way for emotional healing and courage to own and share your needs in all relationships in your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847833743-F4ZNTSBG6SV6QOKKH98U/image-asset.jpeg Home - “Emotional dependency is not immature or pathological; it is our greatest strength.” — Dr. Sue Johnson https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/couples-therapy daily 0.75 2024-07-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/99c634aa-2c79-4efc-8402-4ded437ea03a/gay-couple.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/1619327080943-K6H9UEGSO3X5JNV8HXP6/tyler-nix-jM4fInBr_OQ-unsplash.jpg https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-07-17 https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/about daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/522d7ad5-9607-4bc7-9589-2074a79a3a8a/ICEEFT-Certified-Sup-logo-1.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/ec367176-37fa-4cba-b380-fece391bba35/Website+Pic.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/2a1094c4-9fb4-413c-8fc3-55b5e230f040/Rebecca10.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/4c35f136-7610-40e0-9434-00ac6fe09c37/AAMFT_Credly_Badge_Approved_Supervisor-Final.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/fc8b70ad-083b-4a66-bea2-18ed1469589d/professional+photo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/46b83ac0-c457-420a-aead-d7d7ba2971fb/IMG_7944_jpg.jpeg https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/individual-therapy daily 0.75 2025-11-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/1619327278232-G2W0W6TBKMV6HYQOU37L/oziel-gomez-8tY7wHckcM8-unsplash.jpg Individuals - Emotionally Focused Therapy for Individuals with Jeff (EFIT) In individual counseling, I specialize in LGBTQIA+ support and treatment, relationship trauma, religious trauma/faith change. In individual work I use an Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy model (EFIT). We will sort out the significant meanings behind anxieties and fears and practice identifying and owning your specific needs. As you work on yourself and grow in owning needs, you may start to strengthen your attachment bonds with friends or family by sharing your experience and fears vulnerably with these significant relationships. In our sessions I help you meet yourself in an important encounter with shame from within or with another person, and work with it directly to strengthen your voice and connection from within. In individual counseling we work on creating and maintaining secure relationships, owning disowned aspects of who you are due to past attachment trauma, learning more about your behaviors and strategies you use to cope and stay connected to others, and better understand why you might do what you do, feel what you feel, and think the way you think. There are many reasons we act the way we do, and one of the worst things that can happen is not having more clarity and understanding about your inner experience. When you better understand what is going on deep down, it calms the nervous system (decreases anxiety), and allows you to identify and own your needs and use them intentionally in all your relationships. Simply put, we’ll identify surface emotions/behaviors together, validate how they helped you survive, and open a pathway of compassion and personal needs to be seen and discovered that will help you thrive. https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/insurance daily 0.75 2024-10-25 https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/frequently-asked-questions daily 0.75 2022-04-10 https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/eft-supervision daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/4bc24eee-63d7-49a3-86ab-df90765ac0e7/AAMFT_Credly_Badge_Approved_Supervisor-Final.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb46a714256ea2c6df4cfcf/522d7ad5-9607-4bc7-9589-2074a79a3a8a/ICEEFT-Certified-Sup-logo-1.jpg https://www.ascendhighercounseling.com/couple-intensives daily 0.75 2025-11-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847902870-ZOUR0EX0L2QSQNRC1SP2/image-asset.jpeg
