Solution focused brief therapy focuses on the successes that are always present even in the midst of our greatest challenges. SFBT focuses on strengths rather than on weaknesses; on the present rather than the past. Sessions are up-beat, fast paced and fun.

It has been said that what we focus on becomes stronger. Solution focused brief therapy, a form of positive psychology, is based on the theory that focusing on what we want, rather than on what we don't want, can help change old patterns and free up energy for greater participation in life. SFBT has the effect of reversing a negative frame of reference and replacing it with one of joy and vitality.

Solution focused therapy is particularly effective for relationship issues, stress management, ADD, for those in transition, and for anyone seeking a fresh perspective. It can be done individually, as a couple, or in a family group. 

Typically I see people for 3-5 sessions of SFBT, spaced 2-4 weeks apart.

The way of the Great Eastern Sun is based on seeing that there is a natural source of radiance and brilliance in this world--which is the innate wakefulness of human beings.                       -Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
