Amplifying Your Strengths. Cultivating Thriving, Not Just Surviving.
What Is Positive Psychotherapy?
At Groundbreaker Therapy, my approach goes beyond reducing distress. Positive psychotherapy focuses on what helps people feel fulfilled, connected, and strong—not just what helps them cope. In our work together, I help you recognize your strengths, find meaning in your experiences, and build habits that support lasting wellbeing.
Rather than simply managing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or burnout, we’ll explore what allows you to grow. This therapy looks at what’s already working in your life and expands on it, creating a foundation for long-term resilience and joy.
Who Benefits From This Approach
Positive psychotherapy is a great fit if you:
- Feel stable but want to go further than coping
- Are you searching for purpose, motivation, or direction
- Want to feel more engaged in your work, relationships, or community
- Are you ready to build confidence, clarity, and resilience
- Value personal growth and want to create sustainable wellbeing
If you’re currently in crisis or need a higher level of care, we can talk about the best next step for your safety and support before diving into this kind of work.
How I Use Positive Psychotherapy In Sessions
I draw from evidence-based modalities like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy while using a positive psychotherapy lens. Together, we’ll focus on both healing and growth.
- Discover And Reflect – We identify moments when you’ve felt capable, connected, or proud, and what helped those moments happen.
- Map Your Strengths – I help you name and use your natural strengths—creativity, persistence, empathy, curiosity, humor—as tools for change.
- Create Meaning – We explore how your values and goals align, and what gives your life purpose.
- Build Resilience – You’ll practice skills that help you manage stress, stay grounded, and recover more quickly when life feels hard.
- Integrate And Move Forward – As you heal, we’ll connect your past experiences to your future direction so you can keep growing with intention.
What You Can Expect In Sessions
You can expect a mix of reflection, active practice, and collaboration. We might focus on what went well in your week, how you applied a personal strength, or what patterns are ready to shift. I’ll tailor the process to your goals, pacing, and comfort level. Some sessions may feel introspective and calm; others may feel energizing and forward-focused. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you move toward where you want to be.
Why This Approach Matters
Many people come to therapy because they’re tired of just getting by. Positive psychotherapy helps you go further. It gives you language and tools to build a life that feels meaningful, not just manageable. My role is to help you translate your strengths into action, clarify what matters most, and design habits that support long-term wellbeing.
At Groundbreaker Therapy, I believe in honoring both healing and growth. You don’t have to choose between addressing pain and creating joy—both can happen in the same space.
Is This Approach Right For You?
This approach may be a good fit if you want to:
- Move from surviving to thriving
- Feel more confident and purposeful
- Build emotional tools that last beyond therapy
- Reconnect with what makes life meaningful
If you’re in a more acute stage of recovery or need stabilization, I can help you find resources that fit your current needs. When you’re ready, we can return to this work of building something stronger.
