Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is another "post-modern" approach.

We visualize concrete positive outcomes you want, mine past successes for clues, identify the most plausible and actionable solutions, and apply what we learn.

Having worked in a fast paced, higher education setting for 6 years, brief solution oriented interventions was the norm in supporting a large student body. When you're in need of a solution, you might feel challenged, uncertain, and uncomfortable. What's the best choice? What's the right way? It's a lot to consider. Having a neutral person to hear you out and guide you to a solution that works for you can save a lot of time and worry. This approach can be used in individual and group sessions.

Using SFBT techniques I help client's navigate through life's transitions and struggles and help highlight areas in their life where something IS going right to help increase the opportunities for even more positive outcomes.
