Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution focused therapy is very effective that focuses on current problems and finding solutions to solve them and to move forward. The client is an active participant as he/she expresses what they hope the future will look like once they can move ahead.

Several events may lead to individuals developing PTSD. However it should be emphasized that these events are not unique to the clients, but, the coping responses and attitudes are the uniqueness of every client. This is the foundation on which Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is based. It involves recognizing the uniqueness of clients’ strengths and focusing on these to navigate through reachable goals to the traumatic present.

Solution-focused narrative therapy is a modality that believes that you, the client, know your strengths and resilience. You've just lost sight of them and have become saturated in a problem-focused narrative or story. Often we begin to feel that we are the problem! However, with SFNT, we will help you put on a new pair of glasses that will not only address the issues but help you derive a new story that focuses on your strengths and your ability to cope and thrive.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a short-term, goal-focused, evidence-based therapeutic approach, that helps clients to achieve growth and change by focusing on constructing solutions rather than focusing on the problem.

This is future focused, goal directed and focuses on solutions, rather than on the problems that brings a client to therapy.

I had a training seminar on this type of therapy, and I believe it is the easiest way to help reinforce clients that they are the experts of their own problems, and have within themselves the power to find solutions.

Have read books about this and use ideas from solution focused therapy in my work. The name can be confusing as therapy is not always "brief." Everyone is unique and treatment is tailored to the individual.

My aim is not to keep you in therapy forever but to help you recognize, understand, and build solutions for what is getting in your way of having the kind of life you want.

Applying your strengths to implement creative solutions to problems.

A basic tenant of SFBT is figuring out what works and doing more of it. It utilizes optimism, logic facts and actions to help us navigate through challenges. SFBT emphasizes that people already possess the resources they need to change; we just need to get back in contact with them.

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.

In SFBT, we work backwards. Instead of focusing on how to "fix a problem", we focus on answering "what is the end goal?" and learning from our past success to tell us how to get there. We start by asking questions like, "what do you want your life to look like?", "what would need to be different between now and then?". You work with your therapist to create your own path forward, focused on where you want to go versus why it will be impossible for you to get there.

This option is perfect for someone with an immediate goal in mind that we can work to understand and solve in a shorter timeframe. This doesn't focus on overall life stories or insight from events separate from the goal that you establish. We will focus on only solutions that will best serve you and your goal.
