The decision to attend counseling can be a significant moment in one’s life. The choice to seek this kind of support can come about for many reasons. People seek therapy to deal with issues, conflicts, and problems associated with a range of topics: interpersonal relationships, professional/career issues, family struggles, unwanted symptoms/behaviors/feelings, a desire to make change, a need to process/grieve painful events from the past or present, self-exploration and many other purposes. Given the importance of such issues, it is critical to find a therapist with whom one feels comfortable.

positive psychology

I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. Health problems can be exhausting. Going from doctor to doctor or trying one treatment after another but not seeing any real improvement, you try your best to stay positive but it wears you down. It affects your work, your family, your self-confidence. You may become more depressed or anxious and start to wonder if people are starting to think YOU are the problem. Well, You're not. Stress exacerbates every problem and learning to be calm and balanced improves every life situation.

You're wondering if you should stay or leave the relationship. Fights are happening more often and you wish you could communicate better with your partner. Perhaps one of you needs to work on yourselves if you want the relationship to last. If you've already experienced a separation, you likely need help coping with some pain or confusion. If you share a child or responsibilities with your ex, you need to figure out a healthy way of coexisting with them. Whether you're gay or straight, you might be single and frustrated with the dating scene - your relationships don't seem to last, or it's been hard to even get one started!

Positive Psychology Therapists
How does positive psychology therapy work?
Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.
When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?
If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviors differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?
The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.
Is positive psychology effective in therapy?
Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
