Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), also called solution focused therapy, is a therapeutic approach that focuses on solutions, rather than on problems. Based on social constructionist philosophies, SFBT looks at the goals clients want to achieve instead of on past difficulties. SFBT encourages clients to identify what works for them and to do more of it, building on their personal skills and strengths. As the name implies, SFBT generally only lasts a short amount of time, around 3-5 sessions.

I use a solutions-focused approach to help you identify your strengths and work toward your goals. I provide time each session to reflect on what was most helpful, and clarify what you want to work on between sessions.

I both trained and practiced Brief Therapy at Portland State Universities Graduate School of Counseling. Brief therapy is sometimes the most effective tool for change in the therapy setting. I often use brief therapy within the larger counseling relationship to help clients see identified problems as opportunities.

Solution focused therapy is one of the fundamental techniques underlying the social work worldview. Therapy is often at it's most effective and efficient when it is built around goal-setting, identifying your strengths, and breaking down a problem into manageable steps. Once you start checking items off your list, you will realize that you have the strength to overcome the seemingly overwhelming.

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 change.

My orientation is pragmatic and my interest in therapy is helping you get access to the tools and information you need. Typically people come in for a series of sessions and then return whenever they feel the need for a check-in or when they hit another bump in the road. We are always collaborating when it comes to deciding how long it makes sense for us to work together.

For individuals or families needing to talk about the challenges they are faced with which can be more crisis oriented or time limited will benefit from a more solution focused or problem-solving approach. I work to focus on the challenges at hand rather the past. In addition I work to assist with getting families to their desired goals in their desired time frame.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is an outcome-oriented therapeutic approach that focuses on identifying and leveraging clients' existing strengths and resources to achieve their desired outcomes. Instead of delving into past issues, SFBT emphasizes present solutions and future possibilities. This short-term therapy helps clients develop practical strategies to overcome challenges and make meaningful progress in a relatively brief timeframe.

I enjoy using Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) because it uses the client's own goals as a motivation for change. Therapy is therefore custom tailored to the individual client, harnessing the transformative power of the client's own strengths and interests, and builds upon ways the client may already be solving their own problem.

Going to therapy doesn't always need to be for a long time. Depending on the client's needs, solution focused brief therapy can quickly address current challenges from a strengths-based solution focused stance. I utilized this approach a great deal in an university student health clinic setting and found it very effective.

Sometimes there is a specific situation or goal that you are needing support with. Solution focused therapy hones in on your strengths, skills and resources you have used in the past to resolve challenges. This is a collaborative process between you and your therapist, focusing on and supporting what is working.
