Changing Lives Through Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with Elliott

Elliott, MA, LPC, entered the mental health field with the belief that people don’t have to suffer, and over a 12-month period at his job at the time, he proved this to be true: 100% of the kids struggling with substance abuse graduated from their program when working with Elliott and avoided prison. To contrast, other therapists had only around a 50% success rate.

The approach to treatment he was using? Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

Despite his impact, not everyone appreciated Elliott’s method, and he ultimately decided to leave behind agency work and start his own practice doing SFBT… and, within only 5 months of starting his new business, Elliott gained 30 clients.

Since then, Elliott has become an expert in SFBT, educating other professionals on how to incorporate the method into their own practices. He’s also the author of multiple books on SFBT, a presenter at the Evolution of Psychotherapy, and an international speaker!

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Why it Works

And, before you check out the podcast with Elliott, here’s some impactful advice he shared:

“Every therapy client in the world that sees you for the first time — when they leave your office, someone that loves them is going to ask them ‘How was it?’ and it’s your job to make that answer positive. If that answer is positive, your therapy practice will thrive.”
