Strength-based practices and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy are at the forefront of services, as we want Black women to see and be aware of what they possess versus what they lack.
Dear Black Woman, we are often overlooked, undervalued, misunderstood, and many more, but not anymore. I want to let you know that you matter! Your feelings and emotions are valid, even if others around you disagree. You are not crazy. You are not overthinking. You are not too sensitive or too aggressive. You’re a human being who’s trying to make it for yourself and those around you. In doing this, carrying loads of stress becomes our norm until we can't take it anymore. Unresolved stress develops into mental health disorders, such as anxiety, depression, and more. Stress impacts your mental health and physical health.

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.
