Brief Therapy Institute has been serving the community for over 25 years. In 1983 we realized the need for quality services that could be easily accessed by communities south of the Trinity River such as South Dallas, West Dallas, and Oak Cliff, in addition to cities south of Dallas such as Duncanville and Desoto. We originally started with three therapists and since then we have expanded to cover the entire DFW Metroplex and have grown to over 15 psychologists, licensed professional counselors, marriage and family therapists, drug and alcohol counselors, and support staff.
For 20 years we have worked with the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) in providing psychological testing and evaluation, individual and group therapy, parent training, drug and alcohol assessment, case consultation, and other services.
Brief Therapy Institute is committed to solution-oriented approaches in developing strengths of individuals and families.
