Strength-Based Therapy
Harness Your Inner Strengths to Heal, Grow, and Thrive
At My Life Recovery, we believe that healing doesn’t begin with focusing on what’s broken—it begins with recognizing what’s already strong. Strength-Based Therapy is a client-centered, empowering approach that helps individuals uncover their inner capabilities and use them as a foundation for recovery. By shifting the spotlight from problems to potential, this therapy builds confidence, resilience, and lasting change.
Whether you’re overcoming addiction, working through mental health challenges, or navigating dual diagnosis, our therapists use this dynamic method to help you move forward with purpose and self-belief.
Understanding Strength-Based Therapy
A Positive Approach to Healing and Change
Strength-Based Therapy is a collaborative, solution-focused model that encourages clients to draw on their own values, resources, and accomplishments as tools for recovery. Rather than centering on what’s “wrong,” this method invites you to recognize what’s right and use that as your path forward.
In this approach, therapists highlight your personal achievements, strengths, and resilience. They help you craft goals that align with your identity—not your diagnosis—so you can feel motivated, hopeful, and in control of your healing journey.
