Narrative Therapy

Do you ever feel like your life is defined by your challenges with anxiety, trauma, depression, or self-doubt? Like your identity has been reduced to only a single chapter, when there’s so much more to who you are?

Narrative Therapy helps you separate your identity from your struggles and reconnect with the values, strengths, and possibilities that have always been a part of your story.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer Narrative Therapy in Nepean and virtually across Ontario. This collaborative, empowering approach supports clients in re-authoring their lives with more agency, meaning, and connection, especially when past experiences or labels have overshadowed their sense of self.

Narrative Therapy is well-suited for individuals who feel defined by problems or diagnoses, or who are exploring their identity, life direction, or the impact of their history.

It can be especially helpful for:

• Anxiety, depression, or self-doubt that feels like part of your identity
• Trauma, grief, or relational wounds that have shaped how you see yourself
• Life transitions or identity exploration (e.g., career, culture, sexuality)
• Chronic illness, disability, or caregiving roles
• Cultural, gender, or systemic narratives that have been internalized
• Feeling “stuck” in old patterns or limited versions of yourself

This approach is collaborative. Your therapist is not the expert on your life: you are.

• Therapists trained in Narrative Therapy and postmodern, collaborative models
• Deep respect for your lived experience, identity, and cultural background
• LGBTQ2S+ affirming, anti-oppressive, and trauma-informed practice
• In-person therapy in Nepean and secure virtual sessions across Ontario
• An empowering alternative to diagnosis-driven or pathologizing care

You are not your problem. Let’s explore the fuller story: together.
