Existential Therapy

Programs that specialize in providing therapeutic interventions that are based on the principles of existentialism which focus on the problems that relate to being in the here-and-now; and on the individual's relationship to the world of things, to other people and to his or her own internal world of consciousness. Existential therapy emphasizes the necessity of making choices, of facing alternatives, of taking risks and of dealing with the resultant anxiety in order to live authentic lives. The focus of therapy is on the present and the future and not on the past.
