Dr. Atwell and Associates view counseling as a collaborative effort in which they will assist each client in gathering information, exploring various issues, and changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the desired direction. Although the counseling style is eclectic, they tend to use a cognitive-behavioral, client-centered approach in conjunction with reality-based and solution-focused applications. Our therapists work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, marriage and family struggles, mood disorders, grief, and more.

Navigating through past experiences, identifying and targeting distorted thoughts, and learning new healthy habits can be scary. Depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts deter people from living their best lives. Creating a safe and non-judgmental space is essential for individuals to explore negative thoughts, traumatic experiences and emotions. I work alongside my clients and give them tools to be the very best versions of themselves. I believe that healing, although difficult, is possible and everyone is capable of producing positive change and growth in their life.

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.
