Today I am interviewing Michael Barnett, who is a licensed psychotherapist currently residing in Los Angeles California with over 30 years of clinical experience. Michael is an ICEEFT (International Center of Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy) certified supervisor and trainer in Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT) and is the founder and director of the Atlanta Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy in Atlanta, Georgia where he practiced for the majority of his career, and continues to work with clients virtually. While in Atlanta Michael was a full partner at Pine River Psychotherapy Associates, a highly respected and visionary private practice in Atlanta since its inception in the 1970s.
Michael has ardently worked toward integrating working with addictive disorders through both traditional and experiential processes. This humanistic, attachment-based work culminated in creating an approachable framework for tailoring the Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model to more effectively treat couples who present on the addictive continuum.
