My teacher Brene Brown has said, "Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing we will ever do." As a Psychologist with 35 + years in practice, I continue to study discoveries in neuroscience and human behavior, and while I'm glad of that, what I know is that counseling is about talking through the hard stuff - shame, blame, fear, anger, criticism, grief, forgiveness, and all the rest. Tell me your story in all of its messiness, and let's figure out what's to be done about it. I welcome adults 18 and up struggling with most of what life dishes up. I promise to be candid and compassionate.

Throughout our lives, family relationships can bring us great joy and sometimes great stress. These relationships are always complicated. I can help individuals and families navigate the "ups and downs" of everyday life or difficult transitions. Because of years of experience working with pre-teens and adolescents in the schools, I have a special understanding of the unique needs of kids. Everyone in the family deserves to be heard and families who learn to really listen to each other and work on a plan for change, will build lasting, happy memories. I can help you get there.

Fort Collins, CO 80525 (Online Only)
My name is Easton, I have been working to assist individuals in their endeavors to overcome, find freedom, and otherwise love their life for ten years. I see each individual I work with as altogether new and unique from any other person, and therefore treat the individual's presentation without any prior judgement, or previously held convention. My primary therapeutic approach is to understand the individual before I setup a treatment plan and a course of corrective or solution focused action. The individuals I counsel must first be understood, and heard, before a solution or change can be agreed upon.

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.
