Empowering Personal Growth

Individual Counseling at Monterey Peninsula Center for Narrative Therapy

Individualized Therapeutic Services

At Monterey Peninsula Center for Narrative Therapy, we offer individualized therapeutic services designed to help you navigate the unique circumstances of your life. Our story-centered approach goes beyond typical advice-driven therapies, engaging you in a more meaningful and impactful process. Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or have grown disillusioned with traditional methods, we are here to help you gain deeper insight into what drives your actions and assess whether these influences deserve the hold they have on your life.

A Collaborative Journey

Our Approach to Individual Counseling

We believe that therapy should be a collaborative journey. At MPC for Narrative Therapy, our sessions are structured around your personal experiences, offering you the space to explore new perspectives. We understand that mental health is shaped not only by individual choices but also by social, familial, and community influences.

For your convenience, we offer both in-person and remote sessions, allowing you to choose the format that best fits your schedule and lifestyle. After each session, we provide you with a brief summary of key insights or personal discoveries—referred to as Narrative Documents. These summaries can be delivered in a variety of formats, including email, mailed letters, or even handwritten cards, keeping you connected to the progress you’re making.

Fees and Initial Consultation

Individual counseling sessions start at $125 per hour, with a sliding scale available for those experiencing financial hardship.

During your initial consultation, we’ll focus on understanding the issues that brought you to therapy, discuss fees, and review our informed consent process. Together, we’ll determine if our services are a good fit for your needs.
