Do you want to create the life that fits your dreams? Sometimes we lose our sense of direction as we deal with the obstacles that life presents. I will help you discover the place inside you that is wise and whole. Then you can gain clarity, motivation and take the action to change. This process sometimes happens quickly, but more likely you will need time to explore choices and try out new behaviors. Initially, you may not feel comgortable with a new behavior. It is like trying on a new outfit in a store. Some clothes fit perfectly and others may have to go back on the rack. This is a thrilling process leading to growth.

Distressing moods, behaviors and relationships are often associated with painful feelings and self criticism. Inner conflicts and feeling undeserving are often outside awareness and yet have a devastating effect on one's quality of life and relationships. Sometimes no matter how hard one tries, the same things happen over and over again causing immense frustration and even despair. Building a vitalized life experience is what is needed and this is done by removing the often perplexing barriers to feeling the inner freedom to choose how you want to love, work and play.

You may feel restless, like something’s not quite right. You may want to heal wounds, discover your purpose, feel more alive. Old ways of being are not quite working for you anymore. You want more - to be more yourself, to more fully embody your purpose, to have more fulfilling moments. To feel more connected, more like you belong, more sweetness. You have a sense that you're meant for something more than the mundane, the 9-5, the checking all the boxes. But you feel lost. You're not sure how to get where you want to go.

Existential Therapists

How does existential therapy work?

Existential therapy focuses on a patient’s inner experiences. The therapist tries to help the individual comprehend and alleviate symptoms by exploring their interior life. By confronting negative disquiet and emotions, the individual will hopefully become more open to finding meaning and purpose. This therapy can be administered to individuals or groups.

Is existential therapy evidence-based?

Existential therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has determined that existential therapy can lead to significant improvement in the mental health of patients, and for some people it can be just as effective as cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of existential therapy are enduring, even long after treatment has ended.

How long does existential therapy last?

The goal of existential therapy is to understand a person’s internal experiences, which may sound like a lengthy process, but it does not have to be so in-depth. However, sessions are not short-term, and therapy can continue for months or up to a year. And because patients learn the theory behind existential therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is existential therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with existential therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in improving feelings of isolation, feelings of purposelessness, as well as conditions such as anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can persist even after the end of existential therapy, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve developed during treatment.
