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!
