Why Existential Therapy Matters
Existential therapy offers a profound shift in how we relate to our lives and the world around us. It doesn’t aim to “fix” problems—but to help people confront life’s big questions with clarity and courage. Confronting themes like meaning, freedom, responsibility, and mortality can open the door to deeper self-understanding and more authentic living.
Real-World Relevance
Existential therapy provides support during times of transition, grief, or existential uncertainty—such as career changes, loss, identity questions, or life beyond surface well-being. Instead of pathologizing these experiences, it treats them as natural parts of human existence to be explored, not fought.
