Narrative Therapy in Practice
Dates and Times: Friday, June 12, & Saturday, June 13, 2026, 10 am – 5 pm ET
Location: online via Zoom
Instructors: with Suzanne Gazzolo, PhD, LCPC, and Matt Mooney, PhD, LICSW
Registration Fees: full course fee — $280.00, fee when registrant has completed NTI's What Is Narrative Therapy? training — $255.00
This two-day training is for people wanting to learn how narrative therapy ideas are put into practice in therapeutic settings. In particular, we explore externalizing practices and skills in the context of deconstructing and re-authoring therapy conversations. Clinical examples and experiential exercises will help support participants’ learning. Through practice interviews with one another, participants will try out these ideas in collaborative and hands-on ways. Participants can expect to learn how narrative practitioners work to help people separate their lives from problems and identify new steps they can take that fit with their hopes and values.

This narrative practice group is for therapy practitioners interested in furthering their relationship with the narrative worldview and building community around shared values and purposes. We are excited to offer a program with a focus on presenting and witnessing each other's work. We ask that you have completed a year-long Narrative training program or an equivalent prior to participation. Matt and Suzanne were inspired to offer this program after over 10 years of weekly learning and consulting together with other colleagues committed to developing skills and relationships aligned with the narrative worldview.

The goal of this course is to help participants establish a solid foundation for their narrative practitioner identity and preferred ways of helping. Drawing from participants' personal and professional lived experiences, the course emphasizes a peer experiential-learning philosophy and community-building orientation.
Next Steps for Narrative Learning 2026-2027
Dates and Times: Friday, October 9, 2026 through Wednesday April 7, 2026
Location: online via Zoom
Instructors: with Suzanne Gazzolo, PhD; and Matt Mooney, PhD,
Registration Fees: $2,000, or $1,750 if participant has taken NTI's Narrative Certificate Program
This year-long advanced Narrative Learning Program is for people who wish to further develop a personal understanding of the Narrative Worldview and its social justice ethics and concepts, with a focus on practice and consultation about clinical work. From our personal experiences and from what we’ve learned from participants in the Certificate Program, when we return to our particular work contexts, we can often become isolated and disconnected from our relationship with the narrative worldview. The goal of this course is to help participants stay connected to and further nourish their narrative practitioner identity and preferred ways of helping.
