Family therapy at SoCal Narrative Therapy attends carefully to how children’s problems are often approached in therapy. Approaches that require parents to produce exhaustive accounts of failure can leave both children and parents feeling diminished and less able to meet difficulties in their lives.

With the support of a therapist, families may find space to:

• Recognize children’s and parents’ talents, virtues, and intentions

• Step out of blame and problem-saturated stories

• ​Act with greater agency in alignment with what matters most
