I see my role as holder of a safe space and a catalyst to help you (and your partner) to go deeper in the explorations of the issue(s) that led you to my office. My greatest tool is curiosity. Even though I&#8217;m trained in several modalities, like Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma Informed Therapy, Family Therapy, Existential Therapy, Play Therapy, and\u00a0Internal Systems Family Therapy, my work is mostly experiential and emotion focused. I practice mainly Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). Recently, I also have been trained in Discernment Counseling, a short term counseling modality for couples on the brink.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to my clinical experience, I have over 20 years of experience working with people in different counseling modalities. \u00a0Before I\u00a0graduated with my\u00a0MA, I\u00a0practiced many other transformational modalities, including breath therapy (re-birthing), spiritual counseling, express and release work, as well as teaching different groups on a variety of topics, such as manifestation, women\u2019s empowerment\/support, and energy movement. In the late 1980\u2019s, I\u00a0worked with relationship expert, John Gray, PhD, author of<strong> <em>Men are From Mars, Women are from Venus<\/em>,<\/strong> and organized his seminars in my\u00a0country of origin, Sweden. I am married and have two step-children,\u00a0two dogs, and\u00a0two cats.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About\u00a0Eva I\u00a0received my\u00a0B.A. from the University of Massachusetts Boston in 2008, and my\u00a0Masters in Social Work from Simmons College in 2011. \u00a0Before opening my private practice,\u00a0I worked for four years with children and their families at a large community agency. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/?page_id=2\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"sidebar-page.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":373,"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.evabigonet.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
