Being a teenager is tough. Navigating school and home, extracurriculars and relationships with ever developing brains and bodies, emotions and perspectives, relationships and identities, distractions and temptations, can lead to anxiety and fear, confusion and loneliness, disorientation, frustration, anger even hopelessness. Parents, teachers, coaches and friends aren’t always the people to help, and sometimes you get to a point when you know you can’t do it alone...

Serving Maryland and New Jersey. As a Pastor for over 35 years, I can merge a spirituality with my clinical approach to therapy for those who wish it. For men who want to be free from compulsive sexual behaviors I use a blend of clinical and biblical principles and have seen many freed from decades of addiction. This is also true for marriages that have been broken due to infidelity, pornography, and sexual practices that are not agreed upon within the marriage. Working successfully to stop the unwanted behavior and develop appropriate coping skills, communication and restored trust, is very rewarding and satisfying.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists

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.
