Choosing the right therapist is essential for your mental health journey. You should feel comfortable, understood, and supported while also being challenged to grow. Ask yourself: Do you look forward to your next session? A good therapist listens, respects your boundaries, and helps you see progress. But if you feel judged, misunderstood, or stagnant, it might not be the right fit. Trust your instincts—therapy should be a safe place where you can be honest, feel validated, and work toward positive change. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s okay to find a therapist who better meets your needs.

Therapy should help you feel supported, understood, and make progress toward personal growth. But if you feel stuck, judged, or like your therapist talks more about themselves than listening to you, it might not be working. Ask yourself: Do you feel heard? Are sessions productive? If your therapist forgets details, crosses boundaries, or leaves you feeling worse after each session, it may be time to reassess. Trust yourself—therapy should empower you, and if it’s not, finding a better fit can make all the difference.

Existential psychotherapy helps you explore life’s big questions—like purpose, freedom, and responsibility—without focusing on diagnoses or quick fixes. It’s great if you’re facing major life changes, struggling with existential anxiety, or looking for deeper self-awareness. However, if you need fast symptom relief, have a severe mental health condition, or prefer structured, action-based therapy, it might not be the best fit. This therapy encourages deep self-reflection and personal growth, helping you navigate life’s uncertainties with more confidence and meaning.

For those seeking quick fixes or absolute answers, existential psychotherapy might be frustrating. But for those who are ready to engage with the uncertainties of existence, it can be profoundly liberating. It doesn’t claim to make life easier, but it can help make life richer, more authentic, and more deeply felt.
