Existential Therapy

Existential Therapy

A form of therapy that addresses fundamental questions about life's meaning, freedom, death, and loneliness. It helps people explore what it truly means to exist and live authentically.

Details

Existential therapy is an approach that addresses the fundamental concerns of human existence — death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness.

Rather than focusing on diagnoses or techniques, it involves a deep exploration of existence itself. Viktor Frankl, Irvin Yalom, and Rollo May are among the most well-known existential therapists.

When you feel that 'life has no meaning,' this is a therapy that helps you search together for new meaning within that experience. If you're sitting with questions that feel too big to answer alone, Mindy can help you explore them.

💡 Real-Life Example

Exploring a deep question in therapy such as, 'What is the meaning of my life?' — sitting with that question openly and honestly rather than rushing to an answer.
