Steven Kessler - EFT Universe

Steven Kessler, MFT, has been a licensed psychotherapist for almost 30 years and is the Director of the EFT Therapy Center in Albany, California. He has studied many different healing modalities, including Character Structure, the Enneagram, NLP, energy work, and Thought Field Therapy, the precursor of EFT. He was originally credentialed in EFT by the Founder of EFT as a Level 2 Certified EFT Practitioner, the first in California and only the sixth worldwide to earn that certification. Since then, he has also been certified as an EFT Advanced Practitioner through ACEP and as an EFT Expert and Trainer-3 by EFT Universe.

Since 1984, Steven has taught hundreds of groups and workshops in the US and internationally, helping men and women heal their wounds and grow into their full adult selves. From 2006 to 2010, Steven left his private practice for 2-3 months a year to work on US military bases both in North America and overseas, helping the soldiers and their families heal the wounds of war. Since 2006, he has taught hundreds of classes and workshops training therapists and the public in the use of EFT. He also provides group and individual consultation in Character Structure and EFT.

Steven is a past President of the East Bay Chapter of CAMFT, where he was named the Outstanding Chapter Leader in 2004. He holds a Masters Degree in Transpersonal Psychology and has spent many years studying the evolution of human consciousness. For over 30 years he has pursued various spiritual and meditation practices, including 16 years in the Diamond Heart meditation school. For over 10 years, he has been a student of Lynda Caesara, studying character structure, the direct perception of energy, and shamanism in the lineage of Don Genarro and the Southern Seers tradition.

In 2015, Steven published “The 5 Personality Patterns,” a groundbreaking self-help psychology book which brings the wisdom of the character structure map of personality out to the general public. It has become a #1 bestseller, and many readers have found its map of personality to be more useful than the Enneagram or the Myers-Briggs. You can find out all about it at The5PersonalityPatterns.com

As both an EFT Expert and Trainer, Steven has earned a reputation for excellence. In training demonstrations and private sessions, students and clients are often amazed at how rapidly he is able to find and clear the core issues and events that have kept the person stuck for years. He will soon begin teaching other EFT practitioners how to achieve similar levels of success by combining the 5 Personality Patterns map of the core wounding process with EFT’s ability to rapidly heal those wounds.
