What is Strength-Based Therapy (SBT)?
Have you ever felt like therapy only focuses on what’s wrong? Strength-Based Therapy (SBT) flips that script.
It’s a positive, practical approach that believes you already have the skills and resources you need to succeed. Instead of digging into your problems and past failures, we focus on:
Your existing talents and abilities.
Times when you successfully solved problems before.
Your hopes for the future.
We see you as resourceful and resilient—not broken or lacking.
The Core Ideas Behind SBT
This type of therapy works best when we follow three simple, powerful principles:
You are the Expert: You know your life best. We work with you, not on you.
Focus on Solutions, Not Problems: We spend time discussing what you want to achieve, not just why the problem started.
Small Changes Make a Big Difference: Finding one small success can create momentum for huge, lasting change.
How We Use Your Strengths (Techniques)
In a Strength-Based session, we use creative questions to help you see your own power:
The "Miracle Question": "Imagine you wake up tomorrow and the problem is magically gone. What is the very first thing you notice that's different?" This helps us define your goals clearly.
Finding "Exceptions": We look for moments when the problem wasn't happening. "Tell me about a time last week when you handled that stress really well."
Scaling Questions: We measure progress. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how close are you to feeling satisfied with your job?"
Who Benefits Most?
Strength-Based Therapy is highly effective for almost anyone looking for a more positive, empowering experience.
You might benefit if you are:
Dealing with low self-esteem or self-doubt.
Going through a life transition (new job, moving, relationship change).
Feeling stuck in traditional, problem-focused therapy.
Seeking clear, actionable goals for a better future.
