I started my journey to provide counseling, in hopes of helping those who wanted to make changes, but just couldn't quite put the pieces together. Those who felt that there could be a light at the end of the tunnel, but were stuck in the darkness of their own thoughts. With a little guidance and support, one day they could reach that light and learn how to live again.

You put on a good face every day. You pride yourself on working hard and doing your best but never feel quite good enough. You strive for perfection and achievement but there's always more to be done. You play many roles and fear that you aren't doing your best in all of them. Maybe you are a high achiever but have never felt valued by those around you no matter how wonderful you have done. Maybe you want a family but have struggled with infertility or loss. Fear of never being enough makes you feel out of control.

Wearing a fake smile and pretending everything is okay has become too much. How did it get to this point where life is so heavy and pointless? It just gradually happened, a little at a time. That one day at at time thing can work backwards too. Life can just get a little more impossible one day at a time also. The idea of reaching out to someone for help also seems impossibly heavy and difficult. But really it's not, it's just a call and the journey begins. A sense of hope can actually begin to be part of your emotional landscape. Our therapy can be the turning point where life begins to be lighter.

I believe in the value of the therapeutic relationship and its influence in creating positive change.

So you’re not feeling like your best self lately. Maybe you have never felt like your best self. You’re fighting voices inside your head that say, “I’m not enough.” You look in the mirror and you don’t recognize who you are; where things got lost, or too busy, or maybe even just stood still. Some days you are sad. Other days you are irritable. The days you aren’t sad or irritable you are biting your nails down to the quick. Maybe you have lost track of the days. “When was the last time I showered?” “Who can I reach out to that would care or understand what I’m going through?” “I just want the old me back… or maybe a new me.”

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

How does solution-focused therapy work?

The treatment works by helping a client notice which behaviors and thoughts have positive results on their lives and building a plan around how to maximise these strengths. Practitioners of solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) believe that individuals already have the experience, wisdom, and resilience to create change in their lives, but may need a guide to help them realise which changes to make and how to make them.

Is solution-focused brief therapy evidence-based?

Yes. Solution-focused brief therapy has been extensively studied, and researchers find strong evidence that it’s an effective treatment for many behavioral and psychological concerns. This may be due to the uplifting nature and practicality of the treatment, which allows patients to employ strategies to reach their goals that are incremental and achievable.

How long does solution-focused brief therapy last?

Solution-focused brief therapy, as the name implies, is brief. The timeline may vary from person to person, given the challenges they face and their situation in life, but treatment is typically complete within four to eight sessions. This therapy type is a pragmatic one: it’s concerned more with “how” problems can be addressed and improved than getting to the root of “why” they exist in the first place.

Is solution-focused brief therapy a type of cognitive behavioral therapy?

Solution-focused brief therapy is related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)in that both are pragmatic approaches that deal less with gaining a full understanding of the cause of a mental health problem and more with creating plans for how to cope with these problems and improve an individual’s day-to-day life. They are distinct, however, in that SFBT emphasises building on strengths and resources, while CBT focuses on changing negative thoughts and behaviors.
