Eileen Krol, RPC ​
​
Welcome, I'm Eileen. I support individuals seeking deeper fulfillment in their lives and relationships. I believe meaningful change often begins with compassionate self-reflection—turning inward to understand the patterns that no longer serve us.
​
I work with people navigating a wide range of experiences, including early attachment wounds, anxious, avoidant or disorganized attachment strategies, the pain of breakups, betrayal or infidelity, separation and divorce, infertility, grief, and profound loss. At times, this involves releasing the emotional hold of someone from the past who still lives in our mind. These challenges frequently manifest as feeling stuck, disconnected, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, or numb—sensing that something must shift, yet uncertain about the path forward.
​
My practice centers on Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT), an attachment-based, experiential approach adapted from the highly researched Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model developed by Dr. Sue Johnson. Grounded in the science of attachment and emotion, EFIT helps us explore the emotional blueprints formed in our early years—patterns that may quietly shape how we relate to ourselves and others today.
​
I also understand that self awareness is not enough, and am currently training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). DBT offers skills that clients can take home and use in real time when emotions are high and they feel out of control. DBT holds 2 truths- we are all doing the best that we can AND we can also do better tomorrow. The approach moves towards compassionate empowerment.
​Through this gentle process, we cultivate self-compassion and curiosity, rather than self-criticism. Together, we create positive corrective emotional experiences that soften rigid defenses, transform unhelpful cycles, and foster more secure, resilient ways of connecting—with ourselves and our relationships.
