Eli Schaugh, MFTC
Marriage & Family Therapist Candidate
​​
​Eli artfully blends 10 years of experience coaching professionals in how to achieve the life and career they want with a Master of Science Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to help couples uncover the patterns that keep them stuck and guide them toward new patterns of connection. In Eli’s work as a therapist, this is the most common and heartbreaking pattern he sees: two people who deeply care for each other, yet remain stuck in cycles of miscommunication, disconnection, and emotional distance. One partner shuts down. The other becomes critical. Both are hurting. The harder they try to reach each other, the more misunderstood they feel. By teaching couples how to speak each other’s emotional language, respond to each other’s needs, and rebuild trust, Eli helps his clients feel seen, heard, and understood by each other so they feel secure in their relationship again.
