Reframe Your Family’s Story to Foster Healing and Connection Through Narrative Family Therapy
What Is Narrative Family Therapy?
Narrative Family Therapy invites families to take a closer look at the stories shaping how they connect, communicate, and understand each other.
By externalizing the problem seeing it as separate from the individual your family can begin co-authoring a new, empowering story together. This approach nurtures clarity, empathy, and a deeper sense of connection while creating space for positive change.
How Narrative Family Therapy Works
Narrative family therapy is based on the idea that we understand our lives through the stories we tell and that these stories shape how we relate to each other and ourselves. In therapy, a trained clinician helps your family look at these narratives from a fresh perspective, identify limiting patterns, and rewrite them to support healing, connection, and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions
The number of sessions for narrative family therapy varies depending on your family’s goals. Some families find clarity after just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing support over several months.
Each session of narrative family therapy focuses on open conversation. Through guided conversation, your therapist will help you recognize recurring narratives, separate the problem from the person, and begin writing new stories focused on strength and connection.
While narrative therapy for families is most effective when multiple members participate, even individual sessions can bring about positive change. One person’s insight and growth can influence the entire family dynamic.
