Helping Individuals Through Quality Therapy

Solution-focused therapy is a type of talking therapy that focuses on what clients want to achieve through therapy rather than on the problem(s) that motivated them to seek counseling. The approach does not focus on the past but instead focuses on the present and future. The therapist/counselor invites the client to envision their preferred future, and then the therapist and client start working towards it in incremental steps. To support this, the therapist utilizes the individual client’s strengths and resources and helps the client find exceptions to the problem. Solution-focused therapists believe that, if a person has the capacity to describe something as a problem, that person also has the capacity to determine what would be better in his/her everyday life and has the resources needed to make it happen. What it means to you: Solution-focused therapy is very much a results-oriented approach. My focus is to assist you in reaching your goals in as short a time as possible. While other approaches may require you to spend several hours describing the reasons why you are seeking therapy, the solution-focused method concentrates on your current condition and the resources available to make your life what you want it to be. The approach generally requires fewer visits, lower costs, and increased results. In short, it is a results-oriented approach.
