Other Therapies and Modalities

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

SFBT places focus on a person’s present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences. In this goal-oriented therapy, the symptoms or issues bringing a person to therapy are typically not targeted.

Instead, a qualified therapist encourages those in treatment to develop a vision of the future and offers support as they determine the skills, resources, and abilities needed to achieve that vision successfully.

Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)

ACT teaches mindfulness skills to help you live and behave in ways consistent with personal values while developing psychological flexibility.

Therapists help clients recognize ways in which their attempts to suppress, manage, and control emotional experiences create challenges.

By recognizing and addressing these challenges, individuals can become better able to make room for values-based actions that support well-being. 

Narrative Therapy

Narrative therapy is a method of therapy that separates a person from their problem.

It encourages people to rely on their own skills to minimize problems that exist in their lives.

Throughout life, personal experiences become personal stories. People give these stories meaning, and the stories help shape a person’s identity.

Narrative therapy uses the power of these stories to help people discover their life purpose. This is often done by assigning that person the role of “narrator” in their own story.
