About BCEFT
It is with much gratitude and respect that we honor the Founders of Boulder Community for Emotionally Focused Therapy. This group of clinicians, Laurie Branch, MA, LPC, Lynne Foote, MA, LPC, Nicol Pate, LCSW, Patrick Prag, MA, Mary Schlesinger, Ph.D., Patti Swope, R.N., and LMFT, and Dawn Taylor, Ph.D, created BCEFT in 2009, and because of their vision, dedication, and commitment, we have an EFT community that we can count on for professional development, support, and connection.
Today we continue to build our community through trainings, networking events, and providing resources for learning and support. If you have any questions please contact us at infobceft@gmail.com.
As a friendly reminder: the BCEFT steering committee is a group of volunteers. We are therapists first and use some of the spare time we have toward community organization and maintenance. We are not experts in event planning or website maintenance, so if you find errors or have concerns, please kindly let us know via email. For those seeking involvement, please join us by volunteering and contributing your areas of expertise to this growing community!
Heather Carlson — President
Heather’s career in Marriage and Family Therapy comes after nearly a decade of corporate media sales and 15 years as a full-time parent raising three children with her partner of over 20 years. Her clinical experience began with work in an addiction and mental health treatment facility. Heather works with an EFT supervisor to develop and refine her EFT skills with couples. She now uses EFT as the foundation of her work with both couples and families. Heather is currently focused on completing EFT certification which is expected in 2023, as well as completion of Level II Emotionally Focused Family Therapy. New professional pursuits for Heather include her recent launch of retreats addressing the challenges of guilt and anxiety many women face when attempting to develop self-care routines.
