Briefly in English

My name is Maarit Pietiläinen and I'm a psychotherapist (University of Eastern Finland / Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute). I'm also  a Master of Health Care, a Clinical Specialist in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment.

I'm also a Solution Focused Brief Therapist (Advanced Solution-Focused Practitioner, IASTI), a registered nurse (psychiatric) and a Bachelor of Culture and Arts. I'm currently studying in trauma-focused brief psychotherapy training for psychotherapists (30 credits) at Turku Summer University. My framework (Kela) will be trauma psychotherapy beside solution-focused psychotherapy in the future.

I've worked for years in the psychiatric field from different perspectives. For me, it is relevant as a solution focused psychotherapist that a client feels heard and met without any prejudices. In solution focused psychotherapy, you are not defined by your diagnoses, nor does your past directly predict your future.

I offer therapy services as a psychotherapist. The work supervision is intensive and organized by experienced trainer psychotherapist. I am also honored to have Ben Furman as my mentor.

I also offer solution focused brief psychotherapy, single sessions, and sessions with a hypnotherapeutic approach. I also do Reteaming-coaching and training/lectures as a licensed healthcare professional.

Here you can find more information about me, my education and the workshops I give (partly in Finnish and in English).

I offer Kela-psychotherapy only for adults (16-67 yrs), but otherwise I work with all ages as well as with families, couples, and groups. I have special knowledge of OCD. 

I offer training and work supervision services – coaching, training, lectures, workshops – with a solution-focused approach to well-being and mental health, both in Finland and abroad, for small and large groups, in Finnish and English, online or present. I'm a solution focused psychotherapist and Master of Health Care/Clinical Specialist in Mental Health and Substance Abuse Care, and also a Bachelor of Culture and Arts. 

I am currently studying for a two-year trainer education program at the University of Eastern Finland to become a trainer for solution-focused psychotherapists. The training qualifies to work as a teacher and trainer in university education programs leading to the title of psychotherapist.

Training prices are agreed upon based on the number of participants, and the content is tailored to your needs. For more information about my training courses/workshops, please contact me by email: maarit@pietimaa.fi

My working languages are Finnish and English. I also understand some Swedish and German.
