Dr. Mary D. Lutzo, PhD, LMHC, conveniently located in Saint Petersburg, FL, offers a full complement of psychological and counseling services including:

 

SOLUTION FOCUSED BRIEF THERAPY focuses on what clients wants to achieve through therapy rather than on the problem(s) that made them seek help. This approach does not dwell on the past, but focuses on the present and the future. The past cannot be changed, but one’s attitude about the past can be altered. We work with individuals to recognize how the past has affected them and to re-process the memories of the past. In a confidential and caring environment we help the individual develop positive goals and make changes that are needed to achieve a comfortable, safe, and fulfilling future.
