Marriage & Family Therapy – Couple & Family Institute of Tri-Cities
The Couple & Family Institute of Tri-Cities is a telehealth mental health practice led by Dr. Carol Ann Conrad, a licensed clinical psychologist holding licensure in multiple states including Illinois and Iowa. Dr. Conrad holds dual certifications as a certified Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) therapist for couples and as a certified EFT couple supervisor, with over 25 years of professional experience working with individuals, couples, and families. Emotionally Focused Therapy is the primary clinical modality of the practice, described on the site as an evidence-based approach to relationship healing and individual mental health grounded in attachment science.
Services offered include couples counseling, family counseling, and individual therapy. Individual work addresses concerns such as depression, anxiety, and trauma, all approached through an attachment-based lens consistent with EFT principles. The practice operates exclusively via telehealth, serving clients located in Washington, Idaho, Illinois, and Iowa. No in-person sessions are offered.
In addition to private therapy sessions, Dr. Conrad facilitates the Hold Me Tight workshop, a structured relationship education program rooted in EFT principles and originally developed by Dr. Sue Johnson. The workshop format is described as a psychoeducational experience for couples, distinct from private clinical treatment sessions in its group structure and educational focus. Dr. Conrad also provides clinical supervision for EFT therapists in training, reflecting an educational and professional development role alongside direct practice with clients.
The site includes a blog covering attachment styles, relationship dynamics, and mental health topics connected to the practice’s EFT focus, providing publicly accessible written content related to the clinical approach and therapeutic model.
New client availability is described as limited. The practice accepts both insurance and self-pay arrangements, though specific insurance carriers are not listed on the public page.
