Rabbi Shemuel ben Nachmani once said, "We do not see things as they are. We see things as we are." During our sessions, we will work together to increase self-awareness surrounding long-standing cognitions in order to nurture congruence between your intrapersonal world and outward actions. My approach is influenced by existentialist, psychodynamic, and attachment theories, as well as mentalization based treatment. In other words, I work through several combined approaches in order to help you identify how your past experiences have shaped the way you view the world today.

Life often presents challenges that may seem insurmountable. Challenges, such as negative feelings of depression or anxiety, chronic illnesses, school based issues, relationship and communication difficulties, can poorly influence all areas of life, leading to distress. Counseling is a process that provides a pathway allowing you and or your family to identify many choices available in positive and effective ways. Healthy relationships are vital for emotional, physical and cognitive growth. The healthier a relationship is the more likely you are able to develop and use coping skills productively and better understand your choices.

People sometimes wonder if their challenges are serious enough to warrant therapy. If you are feeling upset often, not recovering quickly from hurt feelings, feeling stuck, and you think things could get better, we should talk. Sometimes people minimize or downplay the severity of their own suffering because they feel they should not be suffering. The truth is how you feel matters and you can be happier in life. Some people only engage in therapy for a couple months, but others have more complicated goals and we meet for longer periods like for 4-6 months.

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.
