Therapy for Existential Concerns

Find yourself and connect to a greater sense of meaning and purpose

Life feels empty + meaningless

Sometimes you can’t help but wonder what the meaning and purpose of your life is. You feel alone and adrift, totally disconnected. You struggle to get out of bed each morning as you wonder what the point of anything you do is. Therapy — also known as a warm, supportive space to explore your thoughts and emotions — can help. Find your way back to life again — to joy, meaning, and wholeness.

Find a path to life + joy again

Existential therapy in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC

Sometimes life gets unimaginably hard and it becomes hard to make sense of it or to come up with any answers. At Hope+Wellness, we’re committed to providing a supportive therapy space that is genuine and authentic — where you truly feel cared for. A space that is human and compassionate, where you feel deeply seen, no matter what you are going through or what you are exploring.

We recognize that each person has different, individualized needs. Using innovative, clinically proven treatments for depression, anxiety, stress, and existential concerns including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and mindfulness based therapies, we will help you learn how to identify negative patterns of thinking, feeling, and living to help you move toward a greater sense of peace and purpose.

Potential benefits of existential therapy

We are passionate about providing you with a supportive therapy space that is genuine and authentic — where you truly feel cared for. A space that is human and compassionate, where you feel deeply seen.

Therapy involves significant time and commitment. There are no guarantees in therapy, but potential benefits of working with us to get help and support for grief include the following:

  • Connect with your deepest values to find a sense of direction again

  • Cultivate greater feelings of love and self-compassion

  • Explore your sense of meaning and purpose in life

  • Connect more deeply and to explore the deepest parts of yourself and your views on life to bring healing

  • Make sense of suffering in a way that fuels purpose and meaning

  • Create space in your life to address your needs for passion and purpose

  • Develop a meaningful connection with something bigger than yourself, to experience peace, awe, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance

“To be sure, man’s search for meaning may arouse inner tension rather than inner equilibrium. However, precisely such tension is an indispensable prerequisite of mental health. There is nothing in the world, I venture to say, that would so effectively help one to survive even the worst conditions as the knowledge that there is a meaning in one’s life. There is much wisdom in the words of Nietzsche: “He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.””

“Man does not simply exist but always decides what his existence will be, what he will become the next moment. By the same token, every human being has the freedom to change at any instant.”
