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 and Supervisor.

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. She 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, she also specializes in distance and online education. She has taught Psychology, Family Life Courses and Counselor Education for many years. Having recently 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.
