Positive Psychology Coaching DC
Therapy isn’t only for managing distress—it can also be a space for cultivating joy, purpose, and a deeper sense of fulfillment. Positive psychology therapy focuses not just on reducing symptoms, but on helping you thrive. Whether you’re feeling stuck, burned out, or simply want to live with more intention, this approach offers tools to help you flourish.
At District Psychotherapy, I work with adults across D.C. who are ready to move beyond “just getting by” and into a life that feels more aligned, energized, and meaningful.
What Is Positive Psychology?
Positive psychology is the scientific study of human flourishing. It’s an evidence-based approach that explores what makes life worth living—things like purpose, connection, resilience, and personal strengths.
This doesn’t mean ignoring pain or struggle. Instead, positive psychology therapy helps you build on your existing capacities to navigate challenges with greater clarity and confidence. It’s about shifting from a deficit-based model to one that asks: What’s already working? What gives your life meaning? How can we grow that?
Who Is This For?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many of my clients are high-functioning adults who are:
Feeling unfulfilled despite external success
Seeking greater purpose or direction in their personal or professional lives
Experiencing burnout or chronic stress
Struggling with self-doubt or imposter syndrome
Navigating life transitions or identity shifts
Wanting to cultivate more joy, gratitude, or emotional resilience
If you’re ready to explore what it means to truly flourish, positive psychology therapy can offer a supportive, collaborative space to do that work.
How Positive Psychology Therapy Can Help
In our work together, we’ll focus on:
Identifying and Leveraging Strengths: Discover and utilize your unique talents and capacities to enhance your well-being.
Clarifying Values and Purpose: Explore what matters most to you and how to align your life accordingly.
