Why work with you?
I only use evidence-based practices because therapy outcomes matter. I specialize in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), the approach used in every group. I’m currently working toward an advanced certificate from BRIEF, the world’s leading institute for SFBT. This work is my passion—and my entire practice is built around helping people create meaningful change, quickly.

Can I join if I’m still using?
Yes. You don’t need to be completely sober to join. These groups are about building on what you want for your future, whether that means cutting back, quitting, or finding more control. A harm-reduction approach is taken which supports any steps that help you reduce risk and move toward the life you want.

Topher Welsch, CSWA
Solution Focused Brief Therapist
I’m Topher Welsch, a Portland therapist helping people create meaningful change in just a few sessions. I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy — a practical, forward-looking approach that builds on what’s already working.
I know firsthand what it’s like to struggle with addictive habits and to work toward reclaiming control and balance in life. Those experiences shape how I run these groups: no judgment, no perfectionism, just a focus on what helps you feel more capable and in charge of your choices.
I’m also pursuing advanced training with BRIEF, the world’s leading institute for Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
