Description

The intricate web of PTSD, marital distress, and familial challenges that military families face demands more than just empathy… 

…it calls for a robust, evidence-based approach that can pierce through the layers of defenses and reach the vulnerable core.  

And as service members and their families grapple with the challenge of reintegration and return to civilian life after deployment or service, therapists often find themselves at a crossroad, feeling a deep sense of responsibility but lacking a clear pathway to make a meaningful impact.  

Enter Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – a beacon of hope and your roadmap to becoming the change agent these families so desperately need. This transformative training led by George Faller MS, LMFT will not only equip you with practical skills and a deep understanding of military culture but will also reignite your passion and confidence, enabling you to create ripples of positive change and help forge loving, durable relationships amidst the chaos.  

Join us; let’s embark on this journey together and inspire hope, resilience, and healing in the hearts of those who’ve given so much.
