Psychotherapist Elliott Connie has never made it a secret that he suffered from childhood trauma, growing up in a home filled with anger, violence and emotional and physical abuse. It left him scarred, feeling hopeless and, consequently, suicidal.
That’s why he chose to become a psychotherapist, so he could help others who have suffered. And through the years, his practice and brand took off. He became a world leader in Solution Focused Brief Therapy—counseling patients, offering online training courses for other counselors and authoring and coauthoring books, including The Art of Solution Focused Therapy, Solution Building in Couples Therapy, The Solution Focused Marriage, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with Clients Managing Trauma. He was traveling the world lecturing and speaking at events and conferences, business was booming and he felt like he had healed—that was until March 2020. When the world came to a halt, Connie did, too. And while stuck at home, his demons came back. He once again lost hoped and became depressed.
Connie realized he had never dealt with his past. So, he did a lot of self-reflection, meditation and prayer. And he slowly began feeling better and with a whole new attitude about work and life. He began teaching and building his brand from a new, more passionate perspective. His biggest goal is to help people understand that no matter what you go through, you can overcome it and still become the best version of yourself. “You can dream beyond your struggles,” he says. “You can thrive beyond your problems and excel beyond your traumas because I have done that.”
Today, Elliot continues to practice in Keller, Texas, working with individuals, couples, and families applying the solution focused approach to helping them move their lives from the current problems towards their desired futures. He also is carrying on his work as the Founder and Director of The Solution Focused Universe, an online learning community that also conducts trainings to help professionals master the Solution Focused Approach in their work; and speaking at national and international conferences and events around the world.
