Rebecca Clark, LMFT, an early adopter of EFT, became Maine’s first ICEEFT-certified therapist and clinical EFT supervisor. With over 20 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, she uses attachment-based EFT therapy to help couples, individuals, and families heal bonds and build deeper connections.

Rebecca is passionate about offering EFT Intensives for couples (two or three day) in beautiful mid-coast Maine. She has also facilitated HMT and C4C workshops, EFT webinars, and provides clinical supervision for EFT therapists one-on-one and in small zoom groups. Locally, she co-founded and co-directs EFTMaine to foster professional community and respond to great need for couple’s therapy.

Outside of her professional life, Rebecca's personal experiences as a wife, mother, person of faith, and her diverse cross-cultural exchanges deeply inform her work, fostering profound connections with clients and therapists on their EFT journey.

Nancy Knudsen, LMFT, Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor and AAMFT Approved Supervisor, is the Director of the Couple and Family Institute of New England in Northampton, MA where she sees couples for intensive retreats, supervises clinicians, offers training to professionals, and has led numerous Hold Me Tight® programs for couples. She, along with Michael Moran, developed the Hold Me Tight®, Hold Me Just Right Program, a sequel to Hold Me Tight® tailored to couples wanting to address sexuality and intimacy. Together they created the Hold Me Tight®, Hold Me Just Right Facilitator Guide and accompanying video series, soon to be available on the ICEEFT website.

Nancy has been a licensed marriage and family therapist for 40 years. Her interest in the intensive model for treating couples developed over time as an alternative to weekly couples therapy for those deeply stuck in patterns that seemed intractable. Helping couples at the "11th hour" get traction and experience a breakthrough in a short amount of time can infuse hope just when partners might be ready to give up.

Dr. Mark Maxwell is the Executive Director of Conexa, and non-profit focused on community transformation through mental and relational health. He also is the director of Pacifica Group Counseling and Wellness in San Diego as well as a part time adjunct at San Diego State University. He lives and operates primarily out of San Diego and Sacramento, California.

Mark started in the film and television industry, getting his BA in Screenwriting at Loyola Marymount University (Go Lions!) which led him to psychology and human dynamics in order to write good characters. He eventually heeded the call to therapy when he moved to Louisiana to study mental health counseling at LSU (Geaux Tigers!). But he could not resist the call of systems theory and relationships, eventually returning home to California to get his doctorate in couple and family therapy at Alliant International University (Go…?). It was here he discovered the two game changers that influence his work today: Attachment theory and Liberation Psychology. Attachment theory led him to training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, working under Dr. Lisa Palmer Olsen. Liberation Psychology was gifted to him through an Immersion program to Mexico City with Dr. Jason Platt. Mark is an integrationalist at heart and exploring the intersections of these theories along with spirituality, theology, and the science of interpersonal neurobiology to inform his work and desire to bring healing and thriving to people in community is his primary focus today.
