A Better Understanding
What is Narrative Therapy
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative and empowering approach that views people as separate from their problems. Instead of seeing the problem through the prism of diagnoses or labels, our approach invites individuals to review their lived experience through the stories they carry with them. With careful eyes and generous attention every stone is turned up, every corner looked around in order to see what more there might be to be done to help you better respond to the problems that bring suffering into your and your families life.
By exploring how these stories influence feelings, relationships, and behaviors, Narrative Therapy encourages people to take control of their own lives and create positive change.
Our storying approach focuses on what our clients bring to therapy by resourcing their knowledge for what brings them in to counseling so we might find specific talior-made solutions to find avenues forward in life.
“We are storytelling creatures, and as children we acquire language to tell those stories that we have inside us.”
― Jerome Bruner
