EFFT is an attachment-based approach to family therapy that helps families understand and shift emotional patterns in their relationships. It focuses on strengthening connection, improving communication, and creating a greater sense of safety and responsiveness between family members.

EFFT goes beyond problem-solving by focusing on the emotional bonds within a family. Instead of only addressing behaviors or surface-level conflict, it helps families understand the deeper attachment needs and emotions driving those patterns. This approach creates lasting change by shifting how family members experience and respond to each other, not just what they say or do.

Family therapy is for families with children, teens, or adult members who want to navigate conflict, repair relationships, or shift long-standing dynamics. You don’t have to be in crisis! Many families come to strengthen connection and prevent patterns from repeating.

While it can be helpful to have multiple family members present for an initial session, meaningful change can still happen even if only part of the family participates. We’ll work with whoever is willing to begin the process. Most EFFT sessions are conducted with two individuals at a time. The structure is collaboratively determined based on your family.

As a concierge therapy service, Relational Realm does not accept insurance because most insurance companies dictate the methods, frequency, and length of your treatment. As trauma therapists, we cannot ethically treat you based on someone else’s assumptions of your needs. Additionally, insurance companies require treatment “justification,” asking therapists to prove that someone is “sick” and is not improving. This goes directly against our mission and values; you are not broken. 

We provide Superbills for out of network insurance reimbursement.

Relational Realm is a registered provider with the Pennsylvania Victims’ Compensation Assistance Program (VCAP). Through VCAP, survivors of sexual assault (in childhood or adulthood) are eligible for up to $5,000 in funding for therapy services if the crime occurred in adulthood, and $10,000 if the crime occurred in childhood.

Sexual assault victims seeking counseling services related to their abuse are not required to have reported the assault to police or other authorities to be eligible to receive these benefits.

We meet online via a HIPAA-compliant electronic health & video conferencing platform, JaneApp. Once your account is created, you’re able to log in to maintain appointments and payments and meet with your therapist via secure telehealth video chat.

All cancellations made sooner than 48 hours before an appointment will not incur a charge. If you cancel your appointment less than 48 hours before it is scheduled, you will be subject to the full charge of the session. Likewise, a “no-show” charge of the full cost of the session will be incurred if you miss a scheduled session with no notice. If you are more than 15 minutes late to your appointment, it is considered a “no show” and you will be responsible for the session fee.
