Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is one of the most widely used therapeutic treatments. Unlike traditional forms of therapy that take time to analyze problems, pathology, and past life events, SFBT concentrates on finding solutions in the present and exploring one’s hope for the future in order to find a quick and lasting resolution of one’s problems. I will help you explore solutions through the resources you already have.

The foundation of SFBT is the imagination. "What do you want?" is consistently one of the most difficult questions for my clients to answer. Many of us, especially the most marginalized of us, have been taught that what we want either doesn't matter or makes us bad, so we repress our desires in order to survive. Healing is the necromantic process of killing the false you in order to resurrect your dreams. If you had the power to transform your life, what would it look like? Your answer matters.

SFBT is one of the models I was trained in.

SFBT gets motivated clients focused on solutions -- quick solutions that are sustainable over time. SFBT doesn't spend a great deal of time wondering about how you were potty trained. It focuses on the here and now, and gets problems solved.

I integrate a variety of tools and techniques into sessions but the top three that I use would fall under CBT, solution focused brief therapy, and ACT.

Solution Focused Therapy is a short-term and goal-focused evidenced-based approach that focuses on exploring solutions, exploring a person's strengths and abilities, and is based on the present and future goals a person comes to therapy with. This can be achieved by eliciting the person's strengths and their successful experiences with solving problems as the client is seen as the expert on their own life.

Do you have big feelings that make it difficult for you to handle stress? Would you like to feel more trust with yourself and others, and less stuck? Solution Focused Brief treatment allows for a dynamic model of change where you are in control and are empowered.

I help clients see how their strengths can be applied to make changes in their lives. We'll explore not only what has worked well in the past, but what may have worked well at one time but is no longer serving you, and work toward a ulfilling future.

I'm a big believer in Solution-Focused Therapy. It’s all about focusing on your strengths and building on them. Instead of getting tangled up in the problem, we explore your desired future and work towards creating it. This approach places you, the client, as the expert of your own life. I'm here to help illuminate the path, encouraging you to harness your own resources to devise effective solutions. Let’s start finding those small steps that lead to big changes together.
