Individual Therapy in Los Angeles, CA and Surrounding Areas

We provide supportive counseling in Los Angeles and throughout California to help clients overcome life’s challenges.  At Narrative Counseling Center, our focus is on the resourceful ingredients in people’s lives that strengthen their ability to:

      • identify personal hopes and intentions
      • engage pathways to choice and responsibility
      • develop and nurture sustainable solutions
      • co-construct lives of personal value and meaning

    Sliding scale fees are available with our highly skilled associates.  Professional memberships include the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT) and the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).

    Appreciative Allies in Action

    We would never presume to be the experts on the lives of others. Instead, we position ourselves as appreciative allies in the co-construction of relationships that clients are interested in developing for themselves and with significant others in their lives.

    Collaborative curiosity allows us to focus on client-identified goals, the challenges that stand in their way, and how these challenges can be overcome. This stance engages clients as active agents in their own lives, nurturing their abilities, skills and knowledge, and inviting alternative stories that have transformative effects for individuals and for families.

    The Client (or family member) is not the problem…the Problem is the Problem

    Many labels such as resistant, high-risk, chaotic, or co-dependent often have the effect of becoming a person’s (or family’s) identity. As Narrative Therapists, we view all people as multi-storied and remain focused on those ways of being that stand outside the problem description. As these ‘exceptions’ and preferences are grown, the problem narrative automatically diminishes, opening space for experiences that enrich the lives of those who come to consult with us.
