Narrative therapy helps people in Mississauga and Peel Region examine the stories they carry about themselves, separate from the ones that have been limiting them, and reconnect with the fuller, more accurate account of who they actually are.
We make sense of our lives through stories. The stories we tell about ourselves — and the stories others have told about us — have a real effect on how we feel and function.
When someone describes themselves as “a failure” or “broken,” narrative therapy asks: where did that story come from? Is it the only story? Most people discover the problem-saturated story they carry is not the complete picture — it is one story that has taken up too much space.
Externalising the Problem — The problem is separated from the person. You are not the problem — the problem is the problem. “Depression has been affecting your life” shifts how you relate to what you are dealing with.
Finding Unique Outcomes — Times when the problem story did not dominate. These are taken seriously as evidence of a richer, more complex story about who you are.
Re-authoring — Together you develop an alternative story — more accurate to your actual experience and aligned with your values.
Narrative therapy is used both as a standalone approach and woven into other therapeutic work. Our roots in multicultural and faith-informed care make it a natural fit — many clients navigate multiple stories: the one inherited from family, the one shaped by their culture of origin, and the one they are building in a new context.
Every therapist holds a master’s degree and is CRPO-registered. Our Clinical Director holds a PhD and a Doctor of Counselling and Psychotherapy. English, French, and Arabic. In person in Mississauga and online across Ontario.
