*Not taking new clients at this time* Therapy is about making the decision that something in your life isn’t working & needs to change so you no longer feel overwhelmed and out of control. Histories of addiction, trauma, unsafe coping skills, grief & loss, anxiety, depression and chronic pain are just some of the challenges that sabotage a life of well-being. It is possible to learn & use new coping skills and change negative patterns of behavior to be empowered to explore your world with confidence and a new passion for life.

Life at times can be challenging. Life transitions, parenting, marriage, relationships or unanticipated life events such as loss of a loved one, an illness, divorce, or job loss can feel overwhelming and difficult to manage. These challenges can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, isolation, self-doubt or result in unhealthy relationships or behaviors. Sometimes, a past or present trauma can start to feel disruptive or childhood issues can unknowingly impact the present. Therapy can help find a way to better cope with these challenges by learning how to manage overwhelming emotions and change negative beliefs that effect our relationships and well being.

Narrative Therapists
Is narrative therapy evidence-based?
Narrative therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Some small studies do show that depressed and anxious individuals who were treated with narrative therapy reported improvement in anxiety and depression symptoms.
How long does narrative therapy last?
Narrative therapy is less structured when compared with psychoanalysis, for example. Narrative therapy is more open-ended and may not be limited to a set number of sessions. It is common for clients to be in therapy for a few months, and sometimes a year or longer. Patients see their therapist one to two times a week, though the exact schedule and timeline may vary depending on a person’s challenges and progress. Individuals can also practice the principles of narrative therapy after treatment has ended.
Does narrative therapy work?
Narrative therapy can help a person manage or reduce symptoms of conditions like depression or anxiety. This type of therapy encourages a person to reflect on the moments of their life when their particular problem was not at the forefront of their minds—perhaps life celebrations, achievements, and other successes. The individual is encouraged to rewrite their storyline as if their particular problem was not part of their life. This therapy may offer benefits that are hard to measure.
What are the possible limitations of narrative therapy?
Narrative therapy is person-centered or client-centered, and the health professional pays more attention to the subjective narratives that are constructed by the client, as opposed to other objective measures. The therapist privileges the individual’s perspective over all others. This open form may feel frustrating for individuals seeking a more structured approach; certainly, no one therapy type will work for every individual.
