Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Independent Addiction Counselor

Adalesa Meek, a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Independent Addiction Counselor in Arizona, is a native of Mexico City. Her bilingual skills in Spanish and English enable her to provide services to a diverse clientele.

As a therapist, she strives to help people regain hope and emotional strength as they build the future they prefer to live in. Therapy is powered by the radical belief that transformation is possible and that people know what they want and how they want to live their lives.

She is a member of the SFU, where she engages in ongoing Solution-Focused Brief Therapy training, consultation, coaching, and mentorship from an international community of experts.
In 2021, Adalesa celebrated her 30th year of service to Maricopa County residents in the field of community mental health. Her career has seen her in various roles, from supporting organizations to developing programs, supervising teams of counselors, and contributing to the development of department functions.
Adalesa’s interests are the outdoors, such as hiking, walking, gardening, and nature. She enjoys visiting national parks as well as off-the-beaten-path sites. Arts and entertainment are also important, particularly dances and music performances. Adalesa loves to travel, and so far, Alaska is one of her favorite frontiers. She finds joy in visiting new places and learning about cultures and traditions, including how they express themselves in the arts. She participated in an international cross-cultural program, Up With People, where she met lifelong friends and her husband, with whom she has two adult children.
__________________________________________________________________________
Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a therapeutic approach that was developed by Steve de Shazer, Insoo Kim Berg, and their colleagues in the 1980’s. SFBT is an evidence-based approach that is effective at helping clients from any background and with various presenting problems. SFBT is a radical approach that asks clients to focus their attention on the future they would like to design and create rather than continuing to focus on other problem-related concerns. This language-based approach encourages clinicians to view each client as resourceful and competent, while they co-construct (work with) their clients to move forward into the life they would like to live. SFBT professionals ask detail-oriented questions that get clients thinking in new and more adaptive ways. After engaging in change-oriented conversations many clients report feeling warmly understood and empowered to use their agency and autonomy to make necessary changes in their lives that are in line with their desired outcome for therapy. This respectful and collaborative approach doesn’t further traumatize clients or require them to wade through heartache and pain. Instead, SFBT helps clients expand their vision of who they are and what they are capable of accomplishing.
