NARRATIVE THERAPY · ST. PAUL, MN
Narrative therapy in St. Paul, MN
You are not your anxiety. You are not the worst thing that happened to you. But after enough years, those things stop feeling like events and start feeling like identity.
Narrative therapy pulls the two apart. We look at the story you have been carrying, where it came from, who wrote it, and whether it still holds up.

Who it helps
- People stuck in a role their family gave them
- Clients navigating identity, culture or coming out
- People who want more direction than talk therapy gave them
- Anyone carrying long term shame or self blame
- Artists and creatives working through blocks
- Anyone rebuilding after a major life change
You do not need to be a musician
Instead of asking what is wrong with you, we ask what happened to you and what you decided about
yourself afterwards. Once the problem sits outside you instead of inside you, it becomes something you
can work on rather than something you are.
How sessions run
01
Map the story
Where it started, who told it first, and
what it has cost you since.
02
Separate it
The problem becomes a thing you carry,
not a fact about who you are.
03
Rewrite it
We find the parts that got left out and
build the new version from those.

How long does it take?
Most people notice a shift within a few months, depending on how long the story has been running.
Can it combine with other work?
Yes. It pairs well with exposure therapy and sex therapy.
