Solution-Focused Psychotherapy
Spano Psychological takes a strengths-based approach that helps you identify what’s already working and build on it. Instead of spending sessions analyzing problems in depth, Dr. Spano focuses on clarifying your goals, envisioning how you want things to be, and taking small, meaningful steps toward that vision.
Identifying
Therapy begins by identifying the client's desired outcome - what they want instead of the problem.
Exploring
Rather than starting from scratch, we look for strengths, resources, and moments when the issue felt less intense. When something is working, the goal is to do more of it.
Working
Solution-Focused work encourages flexibility and experimentation. This is a shift from the cultural idea that persistence alone leads to change - sometimes progress comes from doing something new instead.
Therapy for whole-person wellness.
Spano Psychological is grounded in a solution-focused and mindful approach that emphasizes clarity, collaboration, and practical change. Across psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment, Dr. Spano integrates careful clinical reasoning with genuine attention to each individual’s experience, ensuring that care is both precise and personally meaningful.
