POSITIVE PSYCHOLOGY
· For Individuals:
Positive Psychology focuses on people's strengths in addition to what ails them. Instead of just asking what’s wrong, therapists working from a Positive Psychology framework will pay close attention to your strengths:
- creativity
- curiosity
- the capacity for love and work
- resilience
- compassion
- open mindedness
- persistence
- integrity
- flexibility
- self-control
Once you’ve identified your strengths, you’ll learn to you use them in new ways and new situations. You’ll zero in, in writing, on what is going well in you life. You’ll set goals, and chart a course to meet them. We help people become their best selves, maximize their ability to bounce back from adversity and engage fully in love and work.
· For Communities, Institutions, & Businesses:
Positive Psychology can be utilized to strengthen communities and institutions through studying:
- leadership
- teamwork
- tolerance
- responsibility
- work ethic
We provide consultation to community leaders and executives to help them build healthier, more thriving organizations.
Positive Psychology services are provided by Dr. Ruth Davis Kalb, and Dr. Sharon Cushman.
