Working Through Death Anxiety in Therapy.

The way we think about death affects so much of how we live—how we grow, face challenges, become unwell, connect with others, and make sense of tough times. Sometimes, the fear or discomfort we feel about the fact that life doesn’t last forever can show up in surprising ways, like feeling stuck, unsure of what we want, or even like something is missing. By taking some time to explore these feelings, we can discover insights that help us live more fully and with greater purpose.

​

This process can help you feel more connected to yourself and others, figure out what truly matters to you, and bring more meaning to your everyday choices.​ Therapy for existential anxiety isn’t about focusing on heavy or depressing topics. It’s about making space for all the parts of being human—our hopes, fears, joys, and struggles—so that we can live with more intention and awareness. Together, we’ll work on normalizing these big questions and feelings so they don’t feel so overwhelming.

Making Meaning in the Face of Life's Limits

Does death anxiety go away?

We all have moments that remind us of life’s limits and the reality of our impermanence. While we often push these thoughts aside or try to ignore them, they never fully disappear. Existential psychology helps people confront these truths directly. It guides you in discovering what matters most and living a life that feels true to you, even in the face of uncertainty or life’s most confusing and challenging moments.​

​

Life is full of ups and downs, and while we can’t control everything, we can choose how we respond. This therapy helps us embrace the human experience, showing that even in fear or loneliness, we can create meaning through love, creativity, and the power of choice.​ The goal isn't to make all the hard stuff go away - it's to help you live a fuller life, even though the hard stuff is there.
