A six-session or six-hour intensive treatment with Solution-Focused Brief Therapy typically covers the following content.
1: Let’s Talk About What You Want
We’ll get to know each other and talk about what you hope to achieve through therapy. We’ll begin imagining what life might look like if things were better.
2: Finding the Bright Spots
We’ll look at times when things weren’t so difficult and you felt optimistic about life and what helped. These ‘bright spots’ can offer clues for moving forward.
3: Checking Data
We’ll use a scale, a specialized test, to see how you’re doing and what steps might help you feel even a little better.
4: Building on What Works
We’ll talk about any improvements you’ve noticed and celebrate the steps you’ve taken. We’ll explore how to keep the momentum going and make your gains permanent.
5: Looking Ahead
We’ll imagine what a good future looks like, positive and much happier, and talk about how to continue making progress toward it.
6: Wrapping Things Up
We’ll look back at the progress you’ve made, talk about how to keep it going, and recognize the strengths you’ve used along the way.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a cost-effective psychotherapy model due to its emphasis on rapid, goal-oriented change, typically requiring only 5 to 10 sessions. Dr. Z offers a six session intensive that will work well in most cases. By focusing on solutions rather than the origins of problems, SFBT minimizes time spent in treatment, resulting in lower cost. Its adaptability across various issues allows for broad application in individual, couple, and family contexts. Additionally, SFBT enhances efficiency and reduces system-wide expenses, making it an economically sustainable alternative to longer-term therapies.
Hundreds of clients from all walks of life have worked with Dr. Z. SFBT is Dr. Z’s first line of intervention to provide immediate help.
