“Frank is amazing at what he does, and the EFT therapy approach is the only type of therapy I would recommend.”
“Me and my husband recently went through the 3-day Intensive with Frank Bunner. We wanted to do the intensive so we could make our relationship stronger, reconnect as a couple and get help breaking the repeat cycle we go through when we argue. What we got was that and so much more! Frank is amazing at what he does, and the EFT therapy approach is the only type of therapy I would recommend. The information we learned about each other on day one alone was enough to make me a firm believer of EFT and made me happy that we decided to do the 3-day Intensive. We debated doing weekly or monthly sessions, but with our work load and our kids, we knew we needed something like the intensive where we could truly spend time focusing on our relationship without letting our day-to-day busy lives get in the way. Those 3 days of just focusing on us was the best decision we could have made and I 100% recommend Frank, Red Therapy Group, and the Intensive to every couple.”

“Our intensive with Cindy exceeded our expectations in every way.”
“Our intensive with Cindy exceeded our expectations in every way. We believed it would be a positive experience overall but found ourselves marveling at Cindy's keen insights. Somehow, she could hear the words we'd said many times and discussed endlessly, yet she was able to reach into the deeper part of what was really at play. It was incredible. We are grateful for Cindy and the opportunity to work with her.”

“Anna has been nothing short of incredible to work with.”
“Anna has been nothing short of incredible to work with. She has led our sessions with a rare combination of competence and persistence, as well as patience and understanding. Her intuitive approach has allowed us to work through complexities at our own pace, yet she is highly skilled at reigning us in to keep things on track. We started seeing Anna with a 3-day intensive, and would highly recommend the same to anyone interested in building momentum toward reconnection and healing through the process of EFT. Anna is so special to us and we are so appreciative of her work with us!”

"10/10 recommend!"
"I did not know what to expect when I began with Alyssa, but I was blown away by her ability to understand me, notice my patterns of thinking and feelings, and to then, very gently, help me see myself in new ways. The EFT process has made a profound impact on my emotional health which has blessed all the relationships in my life in turn. Alyssa is very skilled in her work and brings great professionalism and intention to her work. She is always prepared and communicates with her clients well, as does the entire Red Therapy Group. 10/10 recommend!"
“The intensive weekend was exactly what we needed…”
We had gotten in a pattern of "standard operating procedure" in our marriage which was not terrible but also not particularly fulfilling or joyful. We had also struggled with weekly or biweekly marital counseling due to two very busy working schedules, and we realized we needed a "jumpstart" to get a new level in our marriage. The intensive weekend was exactly what we needed - no children, no everyday responsibilities - and it provided a pause in time to reconnect and move forward. I really cannot imagine another way we could have gotten to this newer, better level in our marriage if not for an intensive weekend. Anna was a fantastic facilitator - empathetic, intelligent and confident. We run at a fairly high emotional speed which has put off therapists in the past, but Anna met the challenge and guided us through reconnecting. She was warm and kind, which allowed us to bring down barriers more easily. EFT was really fantastic - for the first time in counseling, we treated the cause versus the symptoms, and it made all the difference in the world.

“I have never encountered a clinician who was more warm and wise than Kelly.”
“My wife and I have visited multiple marriage counselors over the years as we stumbled towards building a stronger relationship, often feeling stuck and discouraged. Through our intensive with Kelly alongside regular counseling, we have had more meaningful conversations that have cut to the heart of our issues more than ever before. The intensive itself felt like it instantly launched us into a better and more stable place after a long season of disconnection and discouragement. I am a trained EFT counselor who supervises other couples’ counselors, and I have never encountered a clinician who was more warm and wise than Kelly. She and her team at Red Therapy Group have an approach that integrates warmth and caring with a deeply insightful understanding of what blocks us from the connection we crave. My wife was worried that with me as a counselor, she might feel attacked, but she now refers to Kelly as her counselor. We both see her as our counselor because we feel she cares about us individually and about our relationship. My wife and I feel more hopeful and more connected, we talk more, and we fight less. After years of wandering through the wilderness, we feel like we are finally finding each other again. Whether you have never even picked up a book or listened to a podcast to help make your relationship better, or you are a seasoned marriage counselor struggling to connect in your own relationship, I highly recommend seeking out Kelly and Red Therapy Group to walk alongside you in building a better relationship. I am so thankful that we did.”

“All in all the experience was more than we could have asked for.”
“We met with Anna for a full day of intensive premarital counseling. All in all the experience was more than we could have asked for. We left feeling more connected and incredibly impressed by Anna’s talent and expertise. For ease of review for others, I’ll categorize important attributes in a therapist:
Ability to connect: OUTSTANDING, able to make my partner and I feel at ease with uncomfortable conversations almost instantaneously.
Objectivity: OUTSTANDING.
Professionalism: OUTSTANDING. Was able to connect on a personal level, but also maintained appropriate professional boundaries - an admirable trait.
She gave excellent guidance and was flexible when appropriate. Just a fantastic experience. Plan to seek individual counseling with her as a result of this experience.”

“I can’t say enough good things about the experience!”
”I would highly recommend the EFT Intensive with Kelly. As an EFT therapist myself, I worried that Kelly would not be able to get me out of my head and into my heart as a client. To the contrary, through both her expertise and her presence, she allowed me to fully be the client, and her the therapist, and kept me out of thinking mode and in the place of feeling. I can’t say enough good things about the experience!”

“…if I could, I would pay for Anna’s services many times over.”
“We found Anna through a recommendation from my trusted personal therapist. Couples therapy in general was not something I had enjoyed in the past, but I had never heard of emotion-focused therapy and was willing to try. I am SO glad I gave it another chance. The entire experience has far exceeded my expectations. The intensive was more connective than I ever could have imagined despite dipping into some of our toughest conversations. It felt as if we were able to skip ahead in our therapy goals.
Anna is incredibly skilled at getting to the core of our patterns while making us both feel heard. She easily established trust and safety in the room to be able to navigate conversations that were previously off limits to us. We attribute our current level of trust and communication directly to the time and attention she has poured into us. She has helped us resolve issues that I thought were here to stay. I could not put a price on having peace and understanding within my marriage, but if I could I would pay for her services many times over. If you’re on the fence, this is your sign to take the leap!
Anna has been an integral part of our healing and someone we will be forever be grateful for.”

“Alyssa is an empathetic and highly knowledgeable clinician…”
“Alyssa is an empathetic and highly knowledgeable clinician who sits at the top of my list for intensive couples counseling referrals. She embodies patience, warmth and an exceptional ability to connect with clients from many different backgrounds and experiences. I’ve been lucky to collaborate with her on shared clients and firsthand see her advanced skills in Emotionally Focused Therapy to transform her client’s lives.”

“Anna is a truly gifted therapist.”
Our time with Anna during the 3-day Couples Intensive was monumentally helpful in allowing us to understand where we are getting hung up in communicating with one another and laid the groundwork for a deeper level of intimacy and trust. We made more progress in those 3 days than we would in months of weekly sessions, which was invaluable for jumpstarting our progress and getting us to a better place quickly. Anna is a truly gifted therapist, whose empathy, intuition, and sense of calm made it possible for us to be open and honest about some of the more difficult challenges we have faced in our marriage. We have since continued with follow up sessions and thanks to Anna, are moving forward with a renewed sense of hope and connection in our relationship.

“I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly Bourque.”
"It is my great pleasure to recommend my colleague, Kelly Bourque, for her outstanding work as a a highly experienced Emotionally Focused Couples therapist. I had the privilege of referring clients to her for a couples therapy intensive and the results were exceptional.
Kelly brings a combination of clinical skill, attunement, and compassion to her work. She has a remarkable ability to quickly establish safety and trust, which allows couples to engage deeply in the therapeutic process. My clients returned from their intensive session reporting significant breakthroughs, renewed emotional connection, and greater clarity about their patterns.
Further. I had the opportunity to view the recordings of her sessions with my clients and was impressed with her ability to hold them through difficult moments while simultaneously guiding them toward vulnerable, transformative conversations. Her grounding in Emotionally Focused Therapy is evident in her clinical work, but she also brings her own warmth, wisdom, and creativity to the work. The progress my clients made under her guidance has accelerated their progress.
One of the aspects I value most is how collaborative she was with me throughout the process. She communicated thoughtfully before, during, and after the intensive, ensuring a seamless transition for my clients back into our ongoing therapy. Not only have her insights and feedback been invaluable to my work with my clients, but it has also enriched me as a therapist.
I wholeheartedly recommend Kelly Bourque as a gifted couples therapist. Any couple who has the opportunity to work with her will be in the best of hands.”

“Cindy has made a lasting difference in our life together.”
“I'm so thankful for everything Cindy helped us work through during our recent intensive. Cindy's presence, guidance, and care have made such a meaningful impact on our relationship and the way we communicate with one another. I truly appreciate how deeply she listened and how intentional and thoughtful her approach was in every session. Cindy's techniques were not only effective but felt incredibly compassionate and attuned to both of us — I can’t tell you how much that meant.
We walked away with tools, insights, and a sense of connection that we haven’t felt in a long time. I honestly can’t thank Cindy enough for holding space for us during some very vulnerable moments.
Cindy has made a lasting difference in our life together.”
“As an EFT therapist myself, and having done couples therapy with my husband before, I was looking for someone really skilled in the EFT model…”
“Doing an EFT intensive with Kelly Bourque was the best gift my husband and I have ever given ourselves. As an EFT therapist myself, and having done couples therapy with my husband before, I was looking for someone really skilled in the EFT model, who could help my husband and I get to some of the deeper issues that had never been addressed in our previous therapy. From the very start of our 3-day intensive, Kelly helped us define the areas we were most stuck and begin to get traction in those areas. I was so impressed by her focus and being able to assess on-the-spot where we needed to spend more of our session time. Not only was she efficient, but Kelly is very warm. She instantly helped me feel it was ok to be an EFT therapist and still be struggling with some of these things in my own marriage; my husband loved working with her too. We both felt like she understood, cared, and was exceptionally competent at taking us from point A to B. We left our intensive understanding so much more about one another, and it has been a turning point in how we relate to one another in the more difficult moments.”
