ABOUT NARRATIVE
HEALING THERAPY
Narrative Healing Therapy was founded on the belief that our stories shape who we are, how we connect with others, and how we navigate the world. Healing begins when we gain agency over our own narratives.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
Our practice provides a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment in West Des Moines, offering specialized therapy tailored to adults, couples, and individuals seeking deep emotional growth.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to create meaningful therapeutic relationships that help clients reclaim their stories, strengthen connection, and move toward healing in ways that feel honest, affirming, and deeply human.
OUR CORE VALUES
We believe healing happens in relationship. We honor every client's unique journey with deep warmth, respect, and non-judgmental understanding.
Our life narratives shape how we move through the world. Therapy provides a collaborative space to explore and gain agency over your story.
We help you reconnect with your voice, personal strengths, and internal wisdom to make choices that align with your true self.
Approaching thoughts, feelings, and behavioral patterns with gentle curiosity rather than judgment opens the door to self-discovery and growth.
We integrate creative and flexible therapeutic approaches (EMDR, Expressive Arts, Narrative Therapy) tailored to your personal healing goals.
We are dedicated to supporting mental health beyond the therapy room through education, collaboration, and expanding care across Iowa.
GROWING WITH
OUR COMMUNITY
Narrative Healing Therapy is growing with intention. Our vision includes groups, workshops, community-based programming, and becoming a trusted training site for interns from local graduate counseling programs.
