If you are having the same arguments over and over again, you are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples to interrupt repetitive Cycles where one person reaches out in frustration, causing their partner to withdraw and hide out. Couple Therapy doesn't have to be torture, and there doesn't have to be a "bad guy". I have helped couples with a range of issues from Domestic Abuse to infidelity to communication issues. I even use humor sometimes, but we don't waste a moment! I welcome couples who have been in couple therapy before and have almost given up.
I have a plan, and I care. We can do this together. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples and with families. I have a proven track record, and. I have been named one of the three best Marriage Counselors in Boston a number of times. (ThreeBest.com) Please see actual Client statements on my website: paulazerfosseft.com.
EFT is a short term method, about 30-35 sessions. The method works for any couples, any sexual orientation, any age, married or not. It's for anyone who wants a stronger connection with their partner. Some reviewers have said that when they are with me they feel that "they are my only clients". That's one of my favorite comments!

I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFCT) and Families (EFFT). In all cases, my goal is to strengthen the bonds which may have become frayed through constant unresolved conflicts of persistent withdrawal. I have been an EFT certified Supervisor since 2009. EFT has much data supporting its effectiveness. You can read my reviews on Google, Yelp or my website, coupletherapythatworks.
