Strengthen Your Bond at Our Weekend Couples Workshop
Hosted by Secure Intimacy Marriage & Family Counseling
As romantic partners, you may experience moments of disconnection or conflict. You’re a couple who has a strong, loving relationship, but still find yourselves experiencing moments of disconnection or conflict. You may feel frustrated when these moments arise, even though you know your bond is solid. Sometimes, you might wonder why these issues occur despite your deep connection. It’s natural to feel this way, and it doesn’t mean your relationship isn’t strong. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to deepen your understanding of each other. You’re ready to enhance your communication and connection. Most of all, you’re ready to transform your relationship into an even more resilient and intimate partnership. We want to help you get there.

More About The Hold Me Tight® Workshop
Our experienced EFT therapists will work directly with you to give you the safe space to put what you’re learning into practice. Understand your attachment style, break free from old relational patterns, and reconnect in new and powerful ways.
Includes one follow-up, private session at no additional fee!
A Hold Me Tight Weekend Workshop is a great fit for you if you feel like you and your partner are stuck in a cycle where you:
- Go through the motions of a relationship without experiencing true, intimate connection.
- Repeatedly have the same arguments without resolution.
- Feel unheard and misunderstood, rather than seen and supported.
- Feel lonelier in your relationship than when you are alone.
This is not a great fit if:
- You are in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship.
- Either partner is struggling with addictions.
- Either partner has had an emotional or physical affair or other forms of intimate deception.
- Please contact us for a consultation with a qualified therapist and we can work with you as a couple to address those issues.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is the gold standard in couples therapy and endorsed by the American Psychological Association as scientifically proven and is widely recognized as one of the most effective approaches for creating loving relationships and lasting bonds.

Using facilitated conversations, video presentations, guided workbook exercises, and one-on-one discussions our experienced EFT couples therapists will help you transform your relationship.

Meet Your Facilitators:
Emily Seppi, LMFT
I have been a therapist for over 10 years.
I specialize in Brainspotting (a powerful, focused, body-based treatment method similar to EMDR) and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the gold standard for couples therapy.
As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I can work with individuals or relationships, but I will always think of you (and the problems we work on together) in the larger context of your relationships, your past, and the systems you live within.
I want to support your healing in a way that is affirmative and meaningful to YOU!
Andrea Hainsworth, LMHC

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my goal is to help individuals, couples, and families create relationships where you can truly be yourself and be heard and understood.
I have years of experience using Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), the gold standard for couples therapy, to help couples strengthen and heal their relationships. I specialize in working with individuals or couples that are experiencing infidelity, betrayal, addiction, and other relational wounds.
I want to help you take your life to next level and strengthen/ heal your relationships to create lasting change.
