Are the characters/themes in the latest Pixar film or Netflix show relatable? Do you find yourself connecting feelings to movies, music, tv? Maybe you're experiencing a recent life change like a new job, relationship status change, or a big move, and it sucks doing it alone. Can you relate to the “buzz” of anxiety Ted Lasso felt when his panic crept in. Are you the Nick Miller of the group, struggling with holding boundaries, overthink little things, or feel you are your own worst enemy? Maybe you struggle with healthy communication and conflict resolution like the families in House of Dragons. You're motivated, but what now?

Do you feel like you don’t know who are? Do you feel misunderstood? Have you struggled with confidence, fear, and hopelessness? Having these thoughts and emotions can be incredibly painful. Many feel ashamed for having them and try to manage their mental health on their own. This tends to perpetuate greater feelings of isolation and relational pain.

Accepting New Clients. I specialize in trauma, anxiety and depression. I love getting to the root cause of challenges to make positive changes that are actually long lasting. It is possible with trauma therapy methods as well as an integrative approach which looks at what's happening in the body, not just the mind. Early experiences or recent traumas can change the way we feel about ourselves, others, and our world. Addressing these memories with techniques that go beyond just talking make positive changes in the brain and entire nervous system. This means the memories no longer fuel negative thoughts, feelings or behaviors.

Out of network provider for all insurances You're tired. You have to carry BIG emotions all the damn time with no outlet to let them out. You cry when you’re alone, but put on a smile so the world can’t see you're hurting on the inside. There is no time to slow down because slowing down makes the inner critic grow louder about how awful you are. Perhaps you get some release through disordered eating, but ultimately, that voice comes right back again. The inner critic makes it hard for you to accept yourself and love your flaws. It makes it hard for you to live your life intentionally, with confidence in yourself to use your voice.

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.
