ABOUT US

We’ve made some BIG changes at Rewriting Your Narrative.

After completing her Doctorate, Jessica Ricci has decided to pursue a full-time faculty position, educating the next generation of Masters level Counselling Psychology students. Jessica has been a practicing psychotherapist for over 10 years, so this is a significant career change. To make space for this, Jessica has had to make the difficult decision to downscale her practice and reduce the associates of Rewriting Your Narrative. Tara M and Alisha T will no longer be part of our Rewriting Your Narrative team.

Melissa Klassen and Jessica Ricci will be practicing under a new two-person team and still operating under Rewriting Your Narrative.

Jessica Ricci will not be able to accept new clients for the next few months, and does have a waitlist to start psychotherapy service.

Melissa Klassen is able to accept new clients at our clinic. Please email our support staff (support@rewritingyournarrative.com) to book an appointment with Melissa.

Therapeutic Approach

Rewriting Your Narrative is about working alongside you throughout the therapeutic process to replace the past problem-filled narrative with a rewritten version of strength and resilience. Within the ideals of rewriting your narrative, narrative = your personalized story, which is exclusive to you, your life, and your values. So, when you have decided to rewrite your story, do not think of it as erasing what makes you unique, as our past experiences help create who we are today. Rather, think of rewriting your story as a revised edition, keeping everything that represents you, the challenges you have faced, and everything you want to overcome to make your life more meaningful.

At Rewriting Your Narrative, the process of seeing people as separate from their problem is a guiding influence in the work we (as psychotherapists) are able to do here. This guide is largely due to training and experiences in working within narrative therapy, where you (not the therapist) is the expert over your own life. I believe this represents the strength of the human condition and the personal power to overcome obstacles.

We would love to hear from you if you feel that we are a good fit for your mental health needs. Looking forward to helping you rewrite your story and reclaim your life.
