Helping Couples Restore Emotional & Sexual Intimacy
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a well-researched, attachment-based approach to couples therapy that helps partners move from disconnection and distress toward secure, lasting emotional bonds. At Orari Healing Therapy, we use EFT to guide couples through patterns of conflict, emotional distance, and sexual disconnection—toward a deeper experience of safety, intimacy, and mutual responsiveness.
When emotional security falters, sexual intimacy often suffers. For many couples, issues with desire, arousal, or physical closeness aren’t just “in the bedroom”—they’re rooted in emotional pain, unmet needs, or relational injuries. That’s where EFT, integrated with sex therapy, becomes especially powerful. We help partners understand how emotional disconnection affects their sexual relationship, and how healing emotionally can also restore closeness physically.
In our work together, we create space to talk openly—without shame—about sexual concerns. These may include mismatched desire, sexual avoidance, pain or discomfort, difficulties with arousal or orgasm, sexual trauma, body image concerns, or feelings of rejection. We hold these conversations with care, honoring each partner’s unique story, needs, and boundaries.
Our approach isn’t focused on performance. Instead, we help you slow down, tune in, and explore what’s happening underneath the surface—emotionally and physically, allowing couples to experience a natural return to physical intimacy that feels authentic, pleasurable, and connected.
Whether you're struggling with long-standing sexual disconnection or navigating a new chapter in your relationship, EFT offers a holistic path forward—one that honors both emotional vulnerability and embodied closeness.
