What is Brief Therapy?
Brief therapy is a short term and solution-oriented psychotherapeutic treatment for mental health. Unlike long-term therapy, which is traditionally done, sometimes running into months or even years, brief therapy only runs for about 8 to 12 sessions. It is developed for people who have concrete problems or specific predefined goals that should be achieved in a short period.
Brief therapy is goal-directed; and the therapist assists you in bringing into focus what problems truly need to be worked on and develops realistic plans to solve them. We work on your strengths and resources in solving these problems, rather than emphasizing their persistence. This kind of therapy often takes a more active and direct approach—your therapist assumes a more active role in helping you guide yourself in directions leading to change.
When is Brief Therapy Used?
Brief therapy can be a great choice for a wide range of mental health concerns and life issues. Common times when brief therapy might be recommended include but are not limited to:
