By popular demand, Quality Counseling of New England LLC is excited to announce we are offering Couples Counseling. We use the internationally recognized technique Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
What is Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)? It is a therapy rooted in decades of research into the science of how people make connections with each other. EFT therapists guide couples through stages that allow them to de-escalate their conflict and build new ways of connecting and supporting each other. EFT helps people to process their emotions in a more restorative manner, repairing relationships and allowing people to feel more whole.
Our EFT therapist, April Lau, LMHC is a member of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy and has been trained in treating couples. As your therapist, she’ll help you understand your relationship patterns, pointing out what works well, what keeps you stuck, and where small changes can get you moving in the right direction. She won’t take either person’s side because she doesn’t think there’s a bad guy and a good guy. You don’t have to wonder who April will agree with and if you’ll be called out for causing all your relationship problems. You won’t be asked to change everything about you. Instead, you’ll be suppported in nuturing your relationship with your partner.
Here’s how it works: Each couple meets first together as a couple and then each separately with your EFT therapist, April. Then you’ll spend most of all of your sessions after that together as a couple.
April Lau, LMHC will help you to decrease your fighting, notice your feelings and your urges, feel safer asking for support from your partner.
You’ll learn how to have a more satisfying version of your relationship.
Ready to move from conflict, sadness, lonliness, and hurt to feeling love and connection? Contact Quality Counseling of New England LLC now to schedule a session.
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy is suitable for partners of every gender, gender expression and sexual orientation. You don’t have to be married or engaged.
If you’re thinking about counseling because you’ve noticed you aren’t doing that well, you might think you need to make a lot of changes. You might think you’re a mess or that you’re damaged.
We at Quality Counseling of New England LLC want you to know that we think people who try therapy are awesome!
You are a whole, valid person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the tool we use to help you see that and improve your ability to do what you need to and want to do.
How does Cognitive Behavioral Therapy work? Through CBT, you will gain the ability to recognize and replace unhealthy thought patterns with thoughts that help you. You’ll learn how to figure out which behaviors help you (so you do those more), which are OK (they don’t really help or hurt you), and what interferes with your goals (so you can consider alternatives).
Our therapists are certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy via Boston University and will use CBT techniques to help you:
Notice Patterns in your thoughts or behaviors & Ask if they are helpful or could be modified, replaced, or discontinued.
Eliminate or Reduce Anxiety, Self Doubt, Depression, and Trauma Symptoms.
Recover from PTSD and traumatic past experiences.
Improve relationships with friends, family, partners, coworkers, bosses.
Identify stuck points and learn how to get moving towards your ideals.
Cope with the unknown.
Battle imposter syndrome.
Reduce loneliness by developing more closeness in relationships.
Overcome fears that hold you back in dating, at work, or in life.
Cope with difficult feelings.
Manage mood symptoms.

Do you feel like you are held back by your own self-doubt and inner criticism? Self-doubt can keep you from taking chances with people, get in the way of pursuing your personal goals, and be a barrier to advancement in your job or career. Low self esteem can interfere with your pursuit of hobbies and make you question your relationships, your roles, and even who you are as a person.
We at Quality Counseling of New England LLC specialize in helping people to gain a better sense of who they are and what their strengths are to build their self-esteem. As clients are able to let go of their misconceptions about themselves, they learn to reduce their self-doubt and their anxiety and make choices that can lead to more fulfilling relationships.
With a stronger sense of self and a higher self esteem it is easier to believe that your needs are important and that your thoughts and opinions are valuable. A belief in your own worth is a key ingredient to setting healthy boundaries, reducing people-pleasing, and to minimizing the negative effects of gaslighting.
Envision yourself approaching situations with self-assurance, driven by an understanding of your own unique qualities. Stop people-pleasing and gaslighting! It is the right time to invest in yourself. Make the first step towards a brighter and more empowered tomorrow. Schedule a session with us at Quality Counseling of New England LLC and begin rewriting your new story now.
Quality Counseling of New England LLC recognizes the need for human connection that everyone has. As people become more isolated from each other, we lose a sense of belonging. All too often we feel the pain and discomfort of loneliness without knowing what it is. So we do our best to keep going despite that feeling. Sometimes that looks like turning away from others or focusing on the self as a way to heal. We might do solitary activities to gain peace from the pain of not belonging. Or we might push people away to avoid feeling rejected by them. You might think these strategies help you but if the pain comes from loneliness, is distance the solution?
We at Quality Counseling of New England LLC, are here to reduce your pain by helping you to connect with others. We help clients in both individual and couples counseling deepen human connection and improve personal relationships.
In individual therapy (one-on-one counseling), we use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT) to help clients overcome the barriers to human connection and decrease the habits that get in the way of great realtionships.
In couples counseling, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT or EFCT) to help partners connect in new ways and restore their relationship. Couples build a relationship on a better foundation than what they had before things started to go wrong.
Whether you chose individual therapy or couples counseling, Quality Counseling of New England, LLC is here to help you.
We help you find ways to improve the relationships you have and create new relationships.
We help you bond with others by helping you shift away from the urges to push away from others.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a kind of psychotherapy that teaches people how to identify and change destructive or unhealthy patterns of thinking, which may have a negative impact on their behaviors and emotions. CBT uses a combination of cognitive and behavior interventions that focus on maladaptive behavior patterns as well as emotional responses and thoughts. Moreover, it is designed to replace the maladaptive patterns with desirable behavior patterns.
Through collaboration between client and counselor, CBT involves both the identification of unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and discovery of more helpful approaches to managing mood, thoughts, and actions. Methods like cognitive restructuring, behavior experiments and homework assignments help patients acquire more helpful thinking and more effective ways to cope with real life stressors.
We use CBT to treat anxiety, low self esteem, trauma, and relationship impairments-all of our specialties. How CBT is implemented depends on the issue being address and is customized to each person’s individual needs. We use a culturally sensitive approach to honor each person’s intersectionalities. CBT can also be used for a variety of other issues we also treat including grief and depression. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can provide you with the tools and strategies you need to deal with your problems and achieve your target.
Contact us to book an intake appointment today. We’ll send you an email to our practice portal and once that’s done, we can set up a meeting with your therapist. At that intake appointment, you’ll get to explain more about what issues you want to address and what your goals are. Right from that very first session, your therapist will be using CBT to help guide their understanding of your concerns. They will develop a treatment plan with you and you’ll get started on progressing towards your goals.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is type of counseling focused on the ways human being connect we each other in relationships. It uses decades of psychological research on attachment theory to help counselors guide clients. EFT was originally developed with couples counseling as the focus and has expanded into individual and family therapy. We use the couples counseling version which is also called Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT).
It is common to worry that your couples counselor might side with your partner and start telling you about all the ways you are responsible for making all the changes in your relationship. We don’t see it that way. We won’t take anyone’s side because we see it like this: You and you partner are a team and your opponent is the cycle you’ve been stuck in. You’ll work with your counselor to break out of that cycle. So it is you, your partner, and your therapist all on the same side.
Contact us to book an intake appointment today. We’ll send both you and your partner emails to log into our practice portal. Then we’ll set up a meeting with where you and your partner can meet with your therapist. At that intake appointment, you’ll get to tell your therapist about what’s going on in your relationship and what you want to get out of couples counseling. Right from that very first session, your therapist will be using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help guide their understanding of your concerns. The next step will be meeting individually with the counselor (each partner for one session) and then returning to sessions with your therapist and partner.
