Tricia Mckenna, Psychologist, Certified EFT Therapist and Owner

As a psychologist and co-founder of Life Change Psychotherapy Institute for more than 27 years, Tricia has focused her career on the power of the heart to heal psychological wounds. She brings to her practice a variety of clinical experiences from psychiatric hospital and outpatient clinics to emergency stress management at national disaster sites.

Most of her career and Ph.D. research has focused on how our relationships in life have the potential to offer immense joy and transformation if we can grow and work through the pain. She utilizes an approach with couples and individuals called Emotionally Focused Therapy or EFT. With this therapeutic approach and her guidance, individuals and couples can learn how to successfully express and receive the loving connection they are longing to have. In support of her EFT work, Tricia is a certified EFT therapist and a founding member of the New Mexico Emotionally Focused Therapy Community. She is also a member of the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT).

She is also a certified HeartMath provider, which is a scientifically based form of emotional meditation that can transform the body’s stress reaction into a healing response by integrating the mind and body through the intuitive wisdom and power of the heart.
