At Steady Ground Therapy, we believe your story matters. Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, empowering approach that helps you understand how your personal stories shape your emotions, choices, and sense of self.
Instead of focusing only on “problem behaviors,” Narrative Therapy explores the meaning behind your experiences—helping you separate your identity from the challenges you face.
Whether you’re seeking therapy in person in Downey, nearby surrounding cities, or online anywhere in California, we’re here to guide you.
What Is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative Therapy is based on the idea that the stories we tell ourselves influence how we experience the world. Sometimes, those stories become heavy, limiting, or shaped by past pain or outside expectations.
Narrative Therapy helps you:
Identify unhelpful or painful stories
Understand how those stories developed
Explore your strengths, values, and abilities
Re-author a new narrative that aligns with the life you want
This method is gentle, curious, and deeply validating, making it effective for adults, teens, and families.
