Why Choose Story Wellness?
Located in picturesque San Juan Capistrano, our center fosters healing and health in a calm, welcoming environment. We’re right off the 5 freeway and within walking distance of charming downtown San Juan Capistrano.
Our approach is built on Narrative Therapy, which helps you step back from painful stories you might tell yourself and rewrite them in a way that empowers you. Using evidence-based treatments like CBT and DBT, we help you rediscover control over your life.
What is Narrative Therapy?
Narrative Therapy helps you identify, understand, and change the stories that shape your life. These stories often define how we view ourselves and the world around us.
By creating new, healthier narratives about yourself and your experiences, you can learn to overcome challenges, explore solutions, and build a happier, more fulfilling life.
This process allows you to:
Separate yourself from your problems.
Identify skills and strengths you might overlook.
Examine conflicts from a fresh perspective.
Discover actionable solutions to life’s challenges.
Additional Support Through Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, or talk therapy, is a private, confidential way to explore and address mental health struggles. You’ll meet with a trained therapist who listens, offers guidance, and helps you develop strategies to manage emotions, behaviors, and thoughts.
We use various therapy techniques, depending on your situation:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to reframe negative thought patterns.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help with managing emotions.
Humanistic Therapy to support personal growth and self-understanding.
Psychoanalytic Therapy to uncover patterns in your emotions and actions.
We’ll work with you to create a plan tailored to your unique needs. Therapy can be ongoing and is often paired with other treatments, like medication if necessary.
