Virtual Narrative Therapy throughout Massachusetts
Therapy that makes room for all the stories, relationships, experiences, and possibilities that shape your life.
Therapy that makes room for all of who you are
Our lives are shaped by so much more than what happens inside our heads. Our relationships, communities, identities, and the expectations of the world around us all influence how we understand ourselves.
We approach therapy with curiosity rather than judgment, recognizing that you bring important knowledge about your own life. Together, we can explore the influence problems have had while making room for the stories, values, and possibilities that matter to you.
Our therapists bring a range of interests and experiences to their work. Explore some of the communities and experiences we're especially interested in supporting.
The person is not the problem. The problem is the problem.
This idea is at the heart of Narrative Therapy.
Rather than defining people by diagnoses, difficulties, or the expectations placed upon them, we're interested in understanding how problems operate in their lives—and the ways they've already responded to them.
We believe people have knowledge, skills, values, and commitments that deserve to be recognized and explored.
Finding the right therapist matters
Every therapist at MVT brings their own personality, interests, and experiences to their work, while sharing a commitment to respectful, collaborative Narrative Therapy.
We believe therapists do their best work when they're supported by a community of colleagues who learn and think together. That's part of what makes MVT different.

Mountain View Therapy Statement on Social Justice
We stand against the ongoing brutality in this country toward Black persons and other people who are not clearly white, rich, male, straight, cis-gender, and well-connected. We stand against institutional racism and its tolerance and encouragement of violence toward anyone deemed as other.
Our work as therapists positions us to witness a close-up of the effects of systemic racism. We see how societal problems are so often the cause of personal suffering. We know these systems often rob the people we serve of education, family wealth, access to jobs, dignity, safety, and security. This makes room for problems in people’s lives, like “depression” and “anxiety." We stand against the popular discourse/stories in our society and understand they encourage us to understand problems as located in the individual, a personal deficit, or failing.
As Narrative Therapists, we believe that therapy is social action. A large piece of narrative practice is investigating the effects of these dominant discourses on a person's life. We hope to shine a light on these dominant stories and give people the agency to choose how they want to be in relation to them.
We believe it is of the highest importance to recognize the power differential inherent in the therapeutic relationship. Therapists are positioned to push discourses and influence meaning-making. We are committed to working to counter the ways therapist voices are traditionally prioritized by centering the people we serve as experts in their own lives. We recognize that who we are (white, cis-female, middle class…) comes into our therapeutic conversations. It is our responsibility to recognize and be transparent when our bias comes into our work.
