Narrative Therapy: Everyone Has a Story
Narrative Therapy facilitation and counseling for individuals, families, and groups. Our practice occurs when the facilitator encourages the client to tell his or her story. By telling one's personal journey, narratives are established, purpose is discovered and experiences are consolidated. Narrative therapy is about problem-solving while allowing clients to identify strengths and to explore an issue at hand.
