    Narrative Therapy, Lara Goodman, New York Therapy

    Narrative Therapy for Individuals, Couples and Families

    Narrative Therapy is an effective, non-blaming approach to treatment. Through the lens of Narrative Therapy, problems are seen as separate and distinctly apart from an individual. A problem does not define a person.  Therefore, the goal is not to transform who you are, but rather to transform the effect that the problem has on your life. Narrative therapy utilizes the power of people's personal stories to discover the life purpose of the narrator.
