The Secret Sauce of Therapeutic Solutions
This keynote session highlights the role of clients’ indigenous resources in co-constructing therapeutic solutions with children, adults and families. Every client offers a unique set of resources that can help move forward from depression, anxiety, trauma and other challenges. Drawing from the practical principles and practices of solution-focused counseling, Dr. Murphy will use client examples, real time and videotaped demonstrations, and short experiential exercises to describe how practitioners can partner with clients in culturally responsive ways that honor their resources and accelerate solutions..
