Narrative Therapy uses the client's storytelling to indicate the way they construct meaning in their lives, rather than focusing on how they communicate their problem behaviors. Narrative Therapy embraces the idea that stories actually shape our behaviors and our lives and that we become the stories we tell about ourselves. There are helpful narratives we can choose to embrace as well as unhelpful ones. Although it may sound obvious, the power of storytelling is to elevate the client.

It may look like a craft class, but art therapy is a serious technique that uses the creative process to help improve the mental health of clients. Art therapy can be used on children and adults to treat a wide range of emotional issues, including anxiety, depression, family and relationship problems, abuse and domestic violence, and trauma and loss.

Music therapy uses music to achieve personalized goals within a therapeutic relationship. It involves listening to, reflecting on, and creating music under the guidance of a trained music therapist. Music therapy can help manage physical pain, reduce stress, improve sleep, boost memory and cognitive function, and provide psychological benefits like lifting mood, reducing anxiety, and assisting in processing trauma.
