Do you feel stuck in a story that no longer serves you? Narrative Therapy helps you explore and reshape the stories you tell about yourself, your relationships, and your life. At Summit Counseling Center, our therapists use this empowering approach to help you uncover your strengths, separate from problems, and create new possibilities for your future.
What Is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, respectful approach that views problems as separate from people. It focuses on the stories and meanings you construct about your life and helps you re-author those stories in ways that promote healing, growth, and resilience. This therapy encourages you to see yourself as the expert of your own life.
