Pragmatic, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive approach to facilitate change in therapy

What is Brief Therapy?

It is a therapeutic model that focuses on finding and creating solutions to diverse problems as well as achieving client’s goals.

Focus on efficiency:

This model centers on achieving goals or finding solutions to specific problems within a time period that is reasonable for the client ( anywhere from 1 to 12 sessions).

Focus on the here-and-now and the desired future:

Throughout the process, the causes of all problems are explored, only to the degree they will contribute to the solution. The process’ target is achieving the client’s goals. All new experiences that make change easier are encouraged.

Collaborative relationship:

The goals set in therapy are defined in collaboration with the client, guided by the therapist´s professional judgement as well as the client's needs, expectations and values.

Client's assets and skills:

The therapist is specialized in identifying all individual skills and strengths that can help each client solve his or her problems (even in cases where the client is unable to see the way out of said problems).

Open door policy:

Session frequency is defined in collaboration with each client. There is not necessarily a session every week.
