Solution Focused Brief Therapy

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.

We know what we know… well, most of the time. But translating knowledge into action for change is something else. Sure, we will talk about your issues, but talk only goes so far. We will work on actionable processes to help you get past thoughts, behaviors and feelings that contribute to anxiety, depression, PTSD, BiPolar Disorder, and chronic debilitating daily stress. A change in thoughts, brings about change in feelings and results in changed behavior.

I have been practicing this technique since 2010 and continue to attend ongoing trainings regarding this approach to ensure my skills remain sharp and effective.

Places the focus of treatment on present & future circumstances and goals. Aims to identify tools for more immediate improvement in handling emotions & coping with obstacles. Problem solving perspective and techniques are utilized when applicable.

Solution-focused therapy is a goal-directed collaborative approach to psychotherapeutic change that is conducted through direct observation of clients' responses to a series of precisely constructed questions.

If you want someone on your side who has years of experience helping clients with different types of problems, reach out to me to see how we can work together.

Solution Focused Coaching - A New Narrative Solution-focused is very goal-directed, it's a wonderful way to help you move forward. It is usually brief therapy, meaning 3-12 sessions, depending on your goals. In Solution Focused we are co-creating a new version of yourself via our conversation.

Working with client on coming up with solutions.

What is the problem? How is it a problem? What have you been trying to do to solve it? Imagine if the problem was already solved, what is the first thing that you would notice? These questions form the basis of the solution-focused brief therapy model. The art is in how the questions are asked. Instead feeling like an interview, I ask them in the form of a conversation. It is through this conversation that I will pull on your inner resources for change.

Solution Focused Therapy is an evidence-based, goal-oriented therapy approach that focuses on now and the future, capitalizing on your existing strengths and resiliencies to build a more effective life and future.

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.

I believe that Solution Focused Brief Therapy helps clients rely on their strengths on how to move forward, and strays away from highlighting their past and what they are not able to achieve. This approach emphasizes that clients are experts of their own lives and that they do have what it takes to make the changes they desire.

I have used solution focused therapy, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy going on 8 plus years. I have received training and my clients have benefited from treatment. I don't believe one has to be in therapy for the rest of their lives and my clients come and go and come back when they're ready to work on themselves again. You are your guide as you're the expert of YOU.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-directed approach that centers on the client's present and future, rather than the past. It empowers individuals to envision their desired future and aids them in identifying and leveraging their strengths and resources to bring about meaningful changes and achieve their goals, often in a relatively short timeframe.
