Counselors in all levels of care are facing increasingly long waitlists. Single Session Therapy (SST) operates from the assumptions that each session is a whole, potentially complete therapeutic entity in itself; that the power is ultimately in the client; that all you really have is now; and that helping people make small changes can lead to significant and lasting changes after one session.
