Narrative Therapy is a culturally sensitive form of therapy that helps you see how the way you view the story of your life is shaped by the social, cultural, and political worlds in which you live. Your therapist will help you clarify ways that you have defined yourself by the way other people view your actions (for example, that you are lazy or unreliable) and encourage you to rewrite your story (for example, that you have not met others’ expectations because of challenges or a difference in values). This form of therapy will help you connect with your culture and recognize your personal strength.

Spiritual Therapy helps you connect to something bigger than yourself. By examining your values and beliefs, spiritual therapy can help you find meaning. Spirituality therapy often is used in tandem with meditation, yoga, art therapy, and experiences in nature.

Art, Music, & Drama Therapy use creative expression for emotional exploration and healing. Creative arts therapies can be especially helpful for people who find it difficult to express their emotions through words alone, including people who have experienced trauma or grief, but can also provide a creative outlet for self-expression and promote a sense of calm and relaxation for anyone. Modalities can include drawing, painting, singing, and acting exercises.

Hypnotherapy involves entering a trancelike state to modify subconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that you may have trouble changing consciously. Hypnotherapy can be especially helpful in achieving goals such as smoking cessation, weight loss, or better sleep.
