SFBTA's Mission and Values

What We Do

Our association engages the wisdom and lived experience of our diverse community, bringing our deeply rooted solution focused practices and principles into varied professional and cultural settings.

What We Believe

With respect, inclusion and cultural humility, we are grounded in the principles of Solution Focused Brief Therapy, which are facilitated through collaboration with clients and colleagues. By noticing and utilizing personal resources, people describe and create the foundations to what they want. We believe that small differences lead to meaningful change through the sharing of ideas, practices, and multiple perspectives. We actively engage the wisdom and lived experience of our diverse community as we uphold a not knowing stance and an intentional language of change.


We are dedicated to inviting spaces for connection and collaboration across the globe and across contexts including research, therapy, coaching, education, healthcare, organizations and beyond. We celebrate local and global fellowship through an annual conference, ongoing communication and professional learning.
