Narrative Therapy in Indianapolis & Bloomington, IN
Separating the Person from the Problem to Reclaim Your Story
Narrative Therapy is a collaborative, empowering approach grounded in a liberating premise: the person is not the problem; the problem is the problem. Throughout life, cultural messaging, difficult relationships, and painful seasons can write heavy, dominant narratives over our identity, convincing us that we are "broken," "a failure," or fundamentally flawed. Narrative therapy provides the tools to deconstruct these disempowering scripts and create space for the authentic truth of who you are.
In sessions at Maitri Counseling Collective, narrative work is a direct expression of maitri, unconditional acceptance, benevolence, and seeing the innate wholeness in every individual. We view you as the genuine expert in your own life. Through gentle inquiry and externalization techniques, your therapist helps you step out from beneath the weight of problem-saturated stories and examine the external forces, systems, and beliefs that shaped them.
Together, we illuminate your "sparkling moments", times when you resisted the problem, acted on your core values, or demonstrated quiet resilience. By unearthing these hidden strengths, Narrative Therapy enables you to re-author your personal story on your own terms, restoring agency, hope, and self-compassion, available at our offices in Broad Ripple, South Indianapolis, and Bloomington, or virtually across Indiana and Ohio.
