Strength-Based

Strength-Based Therapy is a form of psychotherapy that emphasizes the individual's inherent strengths and capabilities, rather than focusing on their weaknesses or issues. It operates under the belief that every individual possesses resources and abilities that, when recognized and utilized, can help them overcome challenges and reach their goals.

In Strength-Based Therapy, the therapist collaborates with the client to identify these existing strengths. The process often includes retelling their life stories with an emphasis on resilience, resourcefulness, and achievements. This approach is not about ignoring problems but rather about leveraging strengths to address them. It has been found to promote self-esteem, well-being, and other positive outcomes, contributing significantly to the individual's overall mental health. The therapy can be applied in various settings, including social work, counseling, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, and is known for its empowering and uplifting effect on clients.
