Narrative Therapy to Rewrite Your Story and Empower Your Future
Narrative Therapy helps you separate yourself from your problems and reauthor the stories you tell about your life. Through guided dialogue, clients uncover dominant narratives, identify their effects, and reclaim voice, agency, and identity.
What Is Narrative Therapy and How Does It Work?
Narrative Therapy is based on the belief that the stories we tell about ourselves shape our identity and influence how we experience life. By examining these stories, separating yourself from problems, and creating new empowering narratives, you can open the door to change.
