At Encounter, we believe people are created to need others.

To be relationally alone is emotionally crippling and destructive. It is when we are healthily connected with others - we have a secure relational base to rely on - that we thrive.

At Encounter, we operate from a few base perspectives. The first is that emotions are naturally occurring, important responses within us meant to move us. We believe emotions are essential components in moving us towards healthy connection with others.

Our emotional focus comes from Emotionally Focused Therapy. EFT has proven empirically effective to heal relational trauma, betrayal, loss, and stagnation.
