How does solution focused brief therapy (SFBT) work and how can it help?
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) focuses on helping you identify your strengths, resources, and existing successes rather than spending all of our time analyzing problems. In therapy, we explore what's already working, clarify your goals, and identify small, meaningful steps toward change. This approach can be especially helpful when you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin. SFBT encourages hope, builds confidence, and helps you create practical solutions that align with your values and the life you want to build.
Hi, I’m Afshin (pronounced of-sheen), a queer therapist dedicated to creating a safe, affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. I work with teens, young adults, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and neurodivergent clients who may be navigating anxiety, burnout, identity exploration, self-doubt, or the challenges of living in a world that often expects them to fit into narrow boxes.
My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and deeply human-centered. Drawing from Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic theory, DBT, CBT, and Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients better understand themselves, challenge limiting stories, build practical coping skills, and create lives that feel more authentic and sustainable. Whether we're processing difficult emotions, exploring identity, or celebrating small victories, our work together is grounded in curiosity, acceptance, and meaningful growth.
