Helping you reframe your challenges and thrive
PROBLEM-SOLVING BRIEF THERAPY
The Problem-Solving Model creates actionable change and produces results. Where traditional forms of therapy are an exercise in the pursuit of “Why?” we focus on the present and begin to see results within a few sessions. I have no patients, instead clients who are eager to change their situation and thrive.
REALTIME THERAPY SUPERVISION AND MENTORSHIP
I have trained thousands in the Problem-Solving Brief Therapy Model. Through my unmatched years of experience I have seen that supervision is the only way to develop skills in the model founded by the Mental Research Institute and help others understand its intricacies. I mentor professionals all over the world via video conference from Palo Alto, California.
LEARN THE PROBLEM-SOLVING MODEL
The Brief Therapy Center was founded in 1966 in Palo Alto at the Mental Research Institute. Today, the founders’ mission of education continues in training centers around the world; shepherding the next generation toward systemic solutions, strategic approaches and the Problem-Solving Brief Therapy Model.
Featured Publications
Over the past 30 years, I have co-authored publications detailing the Problem-Solving Brief Therapy Model and its applications. My book, Changing the Unchangeable, has been translated into seven languages with Mandarin Chinese in the works.
