Humanistic Therapy is a client-centered approach that emphasizes personal growth, self-awareness, and authenticity.
What is Humanistic Therapy?
Humanistic Therapy is a holistic approach to psychotherapy that focuses on the whole person rather than just symptoms or diagnoses. Rooted in the belief that individuals have an innate capacity for healing and fulfillment, Humanistic Therapy prioritizes self-exploration, personal meaning, and the development of one’s potential. This therapeutic model is grounded in principles from existentialism, phenomenology, and positive psychology, emphasizing the client’s ability to find purpose and fulfillment in life.
Three primary types of Humanistic Therapies include: Gestalt, Person-centered, and Existential.
