Hi!

Thanks for visiting this page to learn more about me.

This page has a brief summary of professional journey and a list of my educational degrees, licenses and certificates.

There’s some photos of me on the training pages.

Mostly these days I’m teaching and consulting with other therapists how to do Emotionally Focused Therapy successfully and working with couples in prevention and coaching groups. I do still keep a limited professional practice, as I love working right in the process with couples who are in distress. I’m continuing to explore a variety of ways to help the Science of Love reach as many couples as possible. To see what else I’m up to Living In Love, San Diego Center for EFT, or TRI EFT Alliant.

I know there are lots of choices of therapists to choose from. If your relationship is in need of a therapist, and you have some schedule flexibility and want to work with someone who has some of the best training and experience possible, I hope you’ll give my office a call.

About Rebecca Jorgensen, Ph.D.

”Becca” began clinical practice during her first undergraduate practicum course in 1989, where, initially working with children, she quickly realized that working with parents created more change, safety and help for these children.  

Her interest in relationships and families grew and her first postgraduate in-depth couple training was with John Gottman and his “Scientifically Based Marital Therapy,” where she was introduced to the phenomenal work of Dr. Susan Johnson and her model of couple’s therapy.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) revolutionized Becca’s work with couples, dramatically reducing their divorce rate.  She completed advanced training with Dr. Johnson and became certified as an EFT Therapist, Supervisor and Trainer. 

With years of experience as an EFT trainer, Becca is one of the handful of endorsed trainers in the U.S. on Dr. Johnson’s team that trains internationally.

Becca is devoted to strengthening families through helping couples develop safe and secure marital bonds and helping other therapists learn more effective couple’s therapy.

 In addition to training therapists in Emotionally Focused Therapy throughout North America, New Zealand and parts of Europe she also specializes in distance and online education.   She has taught Psychology, Family Life Courses and Counselor Education for many years.

Becca moved to San Diego from Rexburg, Idaho, where she was clinical faculty at BYU-Idaho, she currently holds a Faculty position at Alliant International University at San Diego and is Director of the Training and Research Institute for EFT at Alliant. 

  She continues to maintain a clinical practice in conjunction with her passion for advancing education and training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
