PSYCHOTHERAPIST MAARIT PIETILÄINEN

My name is Maarit Pietiläinen and I am a psychotherapist (University of Eastern Finland / Helsinki Brief Therapy Institute).

I am also a Solution Focused Brief Therapist (Advanced Solution-Focused Practitioner, IASTI), a registered nurse (psychiatric) and a Bachelor of Culture and Arts. I also study at the University of Applied Sciences to become a Master of Health Care, clinical specialist in mental health and substance abuse treatment. There I work on my Thesis at the moment.

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 (Milton H. Erickson's model). 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.

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

You can find me on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.
