What is Strengths-Based Therapy?

Strengths-Based Therapy is an empowering approach that focuses on your abilities, resources, and resilience rather than on problems or deficits.

Instead of asking “What’s wrong with you?”, strengths-based therapy asks “What’s strong with you?” This perspective helps build confidence and highlights the inner skills you already have to overcome challenges.

Who is Strengths-Based Therapy For?

This approach can benefit anyone, but it’s especially helpful for people who:

  • Struggle with low self-esteem or self-doubt

  • Feel stuck focusing on past mistakes or problems

  • Are navigating stress, anxiety, or depression

  • Want a more hopeful, empowering approach to therapy

  • Seek to build resilience during life transitions or challenges

How Strengths-Based Therapy Works

In this approach, your therapist helps you:

  • Identify your unique strengths and abilities

  • Explore times when you’ve successfully coped or adapted

  • Build strategies rooted in your existing skills

  • Shift focus from deficits to opportunities and growth

  • Recognize your capacity to overcome future challenges

Benefits of Strengths-Based Therapy

  • Builds confidence and self-compassion

  • Encourages hope and empowerment

  • Helps you recognize resilience you already have

  • Effective across a wide range of mental health concerns
