Have you ever thought, "I don't want them to judge me." Maybe this is your roadblock from exploring the pain caused by the experiences you've had in life. It's something that I have heard many times in my role as a therapist. The reality is that I am not only not in a position to judge, but it is nothing short of an honor to be the one that gets to sit across from anyone who takes the courageous step to explore their trauma. I have experienced the weight of a person verbalizing a trauma for the first time and I would be honored to have that moment with you.

I'm Vania Brister, and I've come to realize that this field found me, shaping my path in ways I couldn't have predicted. From childhood, I embraced my quiet nature, despite enduring teasing and shame for it. But through those experiences, I learned something invaluable: the power of listening. Being a quiet observer taught me that great listening requires silence, and the ability to understand and support others became my superpower. It brought me joy to be a source of support for family, friends, and even strangers. In my practice, I aim to create a safe haven where individuals and families can express themselves freely.

Every individual is different. Therefore, the approach that I take with your concerns is based on the information you provide along with my assessment during our first session.

We all experience difficulties, and at times it can be tough to sort through our thoughts and feelings alone. I believe that we all have patterns of reactions that arise in our thoughts and behaviors. Some of these patterns may be healthy and some unhealthy. I like to think of the therapeutic environment as a safe place to sort through what makes us, “us”. Within this environment we hope to become more aware of our patterns and decision making. With increased awareness we can make the decisions on what continues to work for us and what no longer serves us well.

Strength-Based Therapists

How does strength-based therapy work?

During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.

Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?

Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.

How long does strength-based therapy last?

There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.

How effective is strength-based therapy?

Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
