Do you find yourself feeling stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, or sad? Do you feel like others either don’t understand what you've been through or don’t want to talk about it? Perhaps you don't feel the freedom to talk about it, which can leave you feeling isolated, lonely, and wondering how you will ever be able to move forward. As a trauma-informed therapist, I understand that your body has self-healing capacities, but to access them, you have to give your body what it needs to heal. When you stay in a constant state of alert or shutdown, it has a detrimental impact on your brain and body. The good news is real change is possible!

Hello! My name is Gracie Clements and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate for CCWA. My journey of healing through therapy began because I realized how much can happen in our lives before we have access to the tools we need. Many of us don't know how much the experiences in life have contributed to the weight we carry day in and day out. You may notice something is feeling “off” and be unsure exactly how to pinpoint it or unsure of how to take the first step. All experiences, the good, the bad, and the ugly, contribute to how we show up for ourselves and others and write the pages within our book of life.

Positive Psychology Therapists

How does positive psychology therapy work?

Positive psychology therapy derives from the work of Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania. He and others developed the field of positive psychology building on humanistic theory. Positive psychology therapy is similar to acceptance and commitment therapy, and it essentially quiets emotional distress through positivity, contentment, and well-being. This therapy does not reduce the individual to symptoms and conditions.

When do I know if I need treatment using positive psychology?

If an individual is overwhelmed by emotional distress and general negativity, they may feel trapped. A positive psychology therapist can help them view their emotions and behaviors differently, and approach life with a better understanding of their positive strengths. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from positive psychology therapy?

The patient may be asked to explore their signature strengths. The therapist will also ask the individual to talk about their goals, which should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. Discussing negative experiences and symptoms is important, but so is the exploration of positive experiences. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more positive and fulfilling way. This therapy is proactive and may use forgiveness, gratitude, hope, and compassion to help reframe negativity.

Is positive psychology effective in therapy?

Positive psychology therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with eating disorders benefit from this type of intervention. This therapy encourages the person to reframe their distressed thoughts and move into healthier patterns of functioning. This therapy also aims to move an individual toward what works well in their life. Positive psychology therapy can elicit lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
