Exploring Meaning. Embracing Freedom. Living With Authenticity.

What Is Existential Therapy?

At Groundbreaker Therapy, I offer existential therapy as a way to help you explore life’s deeper questions and create meaning from your experiences. This approach focuses on your freedom to make choices, your responsibility for those choices, and your search for purpose.

Rather than concentrating only on symptoms or the past, existential therapy helps you reflect on how you live now and how you want to live going forward. It invites you to look closely at what gives your life direction, how you handle uncertainty, and what truly matters to you. The goal is to help you live with greater awareness, clarity, and authenticity.

Who Benefits From This Approach

Existential therapy can be a good fit if you:

  • Feel unsure about your direction or purpose in life
  • Ask yourself questions like “Am I living the life I want?” or “What gives my life meaning?”
  • Struggle with anxiety, loss, or transitions that have left you questioning what comes next
  • Want therapy that focuses on growth and understanding, not just symptom relief
  • Value deep, reflective conversations that help you align your choices with your values

If you are in crisis or need a more structured or skills-based approach, we can talk about combining existential therapy with other modalities to best meet your needs.

How I Use Existential Therapy In Sessions

In our sessions, I help you explore your life experiences, patterns, and beliefs so that you can better understand how you relate to yourself and the world.

  • Exploring Your Story – We look at your experiences and the beliefs you have formed about yourself and others.
  • Reflecting on Core Themes – We discuss questions around purpose, freedom, identity, isolation, and connection.
  • Recognizing Choice And Responsibility – I help you identify where you have the power to make changes and take ownership of your path.
  • Creating Meaning And Direction – We work together to clarify what is important to you and how to live more intentionally.
  • Integrating Awareness Into Daily Life – The goal is not just understanding but living more fully and authentically in the present moment.

What You Can Expect In Sessions

Existential therapy is reflective, collaborative, and deeply personal. Our sessions will focus less on fixing and more on understanding. You can expect:

  • Honest, open conversation about what truly matters to you
  • Space to reflect on your values, relationships, and purpose
  • Guidance in making choices that align with your authentic self
  • Increased self-awareness and acceptance
  • A growing sense of meaning and direction in your life

Why This Approach Matters

Existential therapy helps you explore what it means to live a meaningful life, even when faced with uncertainty, loss, or change. It encourages you to take ownership of your choices and create a life that feels intentional and aligned with who you are.

At Groundbreaker Therapy, I believe growth begins with awareness. This approach gives you the space to face life’s challenges with honesty and courage and to find meaning in both joy and struggle.

Is This Approach Right For You?

This approach may be right for you if you:

  • Want to explore your purpose, identity, and values
  • Feel ready to examine how you are living and what might need to change
  • Value therapy that is philosophical, personal, and growth-oriented
  • Want to live with more clarity, intention, and self-understanding

If you are looking for therapy that is more structured or focused on immediate symptom management, we can combine existential work with practical tools to create the right balance for you.
