Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a goal-oriented, evidence-based psychotherapy that helps individuals focus on solutions rather than problems. Unlike traditional therapies that explore the causes of distress, SFBT helps people identify their strengths, resources, and past successes to build practical strategies for positive change.
At Baby Memorial Hospital (BMH), trained psychologists and counselors use SFBT to empower patients to make meaningful progress in a short period of time — often within a few sessions.
SFBT is a short-term counseling approach that centers on what clients want to achieve, rather than what they want to avoid or fix.
