Welcome to the Emotion Transformation Institute!

We are a research institute affiliated with the Family Psychology Centre in Toronto, Ontario.

Our institute studies the role of emotion and family environment on mental health. While we particularly emphasize Emotion-Focused Therapy for Youth (EFT-Y) and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), we also look at other emotion-focused interventions.

Understanding the impact of emotions on psychological well-being is crucial for improving mental health outcomes for everyone.
