Being acknowledged, heard, and validated are important factors in feeling understood. Daily life situations can produce many wonderful things. But life is also challenging and difficult with many heartaches and uncertainties along the way. No matter what obstacles are presented in the journey of life, I believe having the appropriate support can provide the spark needed to break through barriers to move forward in finding happiness and peace in life. My goal for every individual I work with is to strengthen resiliency and self-acceptance.

Seeking therapy for the first time is one of the hardest things when so many of us are already overwhelmed with busy schedules and are unfamiliar with the process. We often ask ourselves do I have time for one more appointment? Our mental health is just as important to our physical counterpart to remain healthy!

Strength-Based Therapists
How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
