Find a Narrative Therapist

Browse therapists who specialize in Narrative Therapy. Watch their intro videos to find the right fit before booking.

Narrative Therapy is an approach that views you as the expert of your own life. It helps you examine the stories you tell about yourself and your experiences, recognizing that these narratives shape how you see yourself and the world. By separating problems from your identity and exploring alternative stories, you can reauthor your life in ways that align with your values and hopes.

On First Session, you can browse therapists who offer Narrative Therapy and watch their intro videos to get a sense of their style. All therapists have their credentials verified during onboarding. Whether you prefer online or in-person sessions, you can book directly or request a free consultation to find the right match.

Therapy is hard work.

Finding the right therapist shouldn’t be. Over 10,000 Canadians found their new therapist with First Session.
What is Narrative Therapy?

Narrative Therapy is an approach that sees problems as separate from people. It helps you explore the stories that have shaped your identity and discover alternative narratives that better reflect your strengths, values, and preferred ways of being. Rather than focusing on what's wrong with you, narrative therapists are curious about what you've survived and the skills you've developed along the way.

How can Narrative Therapy help?

Many people find Narrative Therapy helpful for gaining perspective on their experiences, building a stronger sense of identity, and addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. It can support you in recognizing how larger social and cultural stories have influenced your self-perception and in authoring a life story that feels more authentic.

What happens in a Narrative Therapy session?

In Narrative Therapy sessions, your therapist will ask curious questions about your life, helping you explore the stories you hold about yourself. You might examine how problems have affected you, identify times you've resisted or overcome difficulties, and discover overlooked strengths. Sessions are collaborative, with your therapist honouring you as the expert on your own experience.

How do I find a narrative therapist?

On First Session, you can filter by specialty to find therapists who offer Narrative Therapy. Each therapist has a profile with an intro video so you can get a sense of their approach. You can book a session directly online or request a free consultation first. All therapists on the platform have their credentials verified during onboarding.

Is Narrative Therapy right for me?

Narrative Therapy may be a good fit if you're interested in exploring how the stories you tell about yourself shape your life. It's particularly helpful if you want to separate your identity from your problems and discover new possibilities. Consider booking a consultation with a therapist to discuss whether this approach resonates with you.

How do I get started?

Getting started is simple. Browse narrative therapists on First Session and watch their intro videos to find someone whose curiosity resonates with you. Once you've found a match, you can book your first session directly online. Many therapists offer a free 15-minute consultation if you'd like to connect first.
