Briefly in English

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. 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. At the moment I only meet clients over 18 years old.

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. 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.
