Master The Art of Intergating Attachment & Differentitation in Couples Therapy
Elevate your practice with thoughtful and practical structures, tools and a dynamic framework
Does this sound like you?Â
- You want to work with couples, but when you do, you feel overwhelmed, lost or stuck.
- You've done various couples therapy trainings and workshops, but you don't know how to bring all the learnings together in a way that works for you. It feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks!
- You want to break the the cycle of exhausting, one-sided sessions -- often working harder than your clients to improve their relationship.Â
- You struggle to establish a process that puts you in the driver seat, while not losing your footing along the way.
- Despite your extensive training in couples therapy, you know in your gut that something is missing - there has to be a better way to tackle some of these recurring, challenging moments.Â
- You find that when you try to apply current modalities, they are either too rigid, complicated, or not quite suited for the couple(s) you are working with.
I've been there!
Having dedicated my practice to working almost exclusively with couples, I understand the feelings of discouragement, frustration, and confusion that can arise. The Integrated Growth Approach was born from my extensive training in the most renowned couples therapy modalities and my discovery of countless opportunities to thoughtfully integrate interventions that drive meaningful change.
This masterclass is designed to transform and elevate the way you practice couples therapy and coaching by breaking down the arbitrary barriers between attachment and differentiation. Grounded in the complementary strengths of these two theories, this course provides a clear, structured, and dynamic framework to enhance your work with couples.

In just a few weeks, you'll be able to...
- Be clear and confident about why your couple is stuck and how their individual growth will create change.
- Precisely know when and how to galvanize the unique strengths of attachment and differentiation without losing your balance.
- Work with motivated and engaged couples who want to do their part to improve their relationship.
- Have a community of like-minded and supportive colleagues who are passionate about working with couples in an integrated way.

NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Ebru Halper,Â
I own a thriving private practice in Connecticut and New York, specializing in all aspects of couples therapy, including leading weekend intensives. My expertise lies in attachment theory, differentiation, and relational healing. In addition to my clinical work, I supervise and consult for many therapists—I love geeking out over challenging cases and celebrating others’ wins.
Â
My journey to feeling confident and energized in my work with couples wasn’t linear.
Â
Despite being deeply connected to the vulnerable, transformative work of Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples, I often felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and frustrated. And even though I was certified in EFT, at times, it seemed like I was doing all the emotional heavy lifting in the therapy room—working harder than my clients, fighting for their relationships while they remained stuck in old patterns. I poured hours into every case, believing that sheer effort would be enough to create change. It wasn’t.
Â
Burnout hit hard. But as a tenacious, lifelong learner, I sought out additional training to fill the gaps in my sessions with couples. Each workshop and training brought a renewed sense of energy. And yet, I repeatedly found myself feeling lost, questioning my approach whenever I hit recurring moments of feeling stuck.
Â
My extensive training in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy was a turning point—it directly addressed my core frustrations. But I didn’t want to lose my foundation in attachment-based couples therapy.
Â
Through trial and error, I discovered a powerful synergy of attachment and differentiation—the missing link that transformed not just my work, but my entire approach to therapy. Rather than choosing between two orientations that often seem at odds, I learned to harness both forces together. I became clear-headed, empowered, and more effective, guiding couples through deeper, lasting transformations—without carrying their emotional burden.
Â
Now, through the Integrated Growth Approach, I share the exact methods that helped me move from exhausted and stuck, to energized and impactful. I’ve helped many practitioners break free from burnout and build a practice where they lead with confidence, create real change, and love their work again.Â
I'm looking forward to doing the same with you.

I have known Ebru for 15 years and it was clear to me from the beginning that she is an exceptional therapist. Having been in supervision groups and peer consultation groups with her over the years, and in regular individual consultation on various cases, I so appreciate her warmth, wisdom, and encouragement. I learn something from her in every interaction we have. She has keen intuition, an ability to get to the heart of the matter, seeing opportunities for developing a client’s insight, vulnerability, and growth, and suggests strategies to get there. At the same time, Ebru is humble and curious, open to other peoples’ perspectives, as she is always wanting to learn and grow. I am so excited for this training she has developed and I am confident that it will provide therapists a wealth of knowledge and strategies to strengthen their work with couples.
