Solution Focused Brief Therapy

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a commonly used and effective treatment to help clients struggling with stress and more serious mental health issues. It is a collaborative, strength-based, goal-directed, present and future-oriented, and inclusive approach. In SFBT, you identify your goals for therapy, focus on exceptions and coping strategies/solutions to the problem, and move forward one step at a time on your path to achieving them.

This approach focuses on solutions that point out what is working and possible areas where things could be done differently to help. With this approach, we do not concentrate or spend sessions discussing what brought you in, but rather what life will be like for you once therapy has worked for you.

I trained extensively in solution focused brief therapy and bring the skills and positive strengths based nature of this treatment modality to each of my clients.

Our work can be centered on identifying and working towards resolution on a current or persistent issue that is interfering with your current life healthy balance. The direct approach of problem identification and solution exploring can feel very empowering. Sometimes this may lead to deeper unpacking of issues but, initially it is about problem solving and stability.

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.

Especially helpful when the problem defies easy definition or resolution.

Building a new lifestyle is hard. It's so easy to just fall back into old patterns. Step by step we can integrate our behaviors into a whole new way of being if we just practice what works.

It can often be helpful to explore past wounds that have left their scars as far back as our childhoods. However, sometimes the goal of therapy is to solve an immediate problem. If you prefer, I can work with you in a brief, solution-focused approach that gathers your strengths to overcome obstacles in your life.
