 Narrative Therapy: a respectful, collaborative, and non-pathologizing approach that centers people as the experts in their own lives. It aims to separate the people from problems by externalizing the issues. The goal is to enable people to explore alternative views of themselves and what they are going through, and to identify their preferred stories which reflect their values, strengths, and hopes.

Collaborative and Dialogical Approach: a postmodern approach to psychotherapy in which the therapists demonstrate a philosophical stance when therapeutic conversations are conducted. They engage clients from a learning or not-knowing approach with the clients themselves being the experts on their own concerns, preferred outcomes, and goals. They aim to facilitate the dialogue that generates new understandings and future possibilities that were not previously imagined.
