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.

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.
