About AZEFT
AZEFT is comprised of volunteer AZ-licensed mental health professionals committed to providing excellent EFT therapy to Arizona's couples and families.
We practice Emotionally Focused Therapy because we believe this is an effective therapy model for healing distressed relationships, rebuilding security and respect, and fostering loving attachments that last a lifetime.
Current Leadership
Our community is led by a volunteer board of EFT Therapists. Selection for, and retention of, these Board positions is determined by the ongoing demonstration of consistent service to the AZEFT Community.

The Birth of AZEFT
AZEFT began over a decade ago in 2008 after the first Arizona EFT Core Skills training, led by Certified Trainer, Dr. Lisa Palmer-Olsen.
Our Community was founded by 6 of the people who attended this inaugural Core Skills:
We are proud to have 3 of these members still active on our Board! And we are very proud to have grown into a thriving organization that provides top-notch trainings and a safe community in which to learn.
We look forward to ongoing expansion of our leadership as our Community grows.
