Denver Center for Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Year Founded: 2010
Model of Therapy: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Denver Center for Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is a full-range training center that provides professionals of all kinds with training in this evidenced-based model that ranges anywhere from one class all the way through three levels of international certification through the International Alliance of Solution Focused Teaching Institutes (IASTI). We specialize in helping therapists work with the most difficult clients and presenting problems. We believe that if professionals are prepared to confidently address the most challenging customer issues, they will have no problem with the average day-to-day dilemmas. We provide education and clinical guidance in the effective use of this model through our Littleton, Colorado center as well as personalized workshops at your agency. In addition to a regular schedule of approximately four courses each month, we offer a Summer Intensive each July to help attendees gain a solid grasp of this approach within the week. Those who complete our services frequently take advantage of ongoing support through in-person groups as well as telephone and Skype sessions to ensure their application of this approach is effective in their treatment setting. Because it is common for colleagues from around the world to take advantage of our offerings, we have made every effort to keep airline and hotel cost low, by offering free travel agency services to help minimize the expense of travel to our location. This model is an evidenced based approach that has been proven effective with a wide range of presenting issues including drug and alcohol dependency, schizophrenia, mood disorders and other mental health conditions, as well as family and personal difficulties. This model is not only known for its effectiveness with clients in a relatively short period of time, but also for its significant decrease in burnout for those solution-focused practitioners who use it.
