The Philosophy Behind It

We are all individual and unique. Our experiences, challenges and needs are incomparable. Yet many of us forget that we always have choices―even when it feels like we don’t. Not choosing is also a choice, and that can leave us feeling anxious or stuck.

Together we can begin a psychotherapeutic journey to help you manage life’s  difficulties. It’s not about changing what cannot be changed, but about learning to accept it, and aligning your life more closely with your values.

“Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.” “We are our choices.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre

About Badashian Therapy

Badashian Therapy offers online and in-person existential psychotherapy to support you through challenges by exploring your unique perspective, feelings, and needs. Through greater understanding of how you want to live, we will uncover your choices and empower you to live more authentically. This can then allow you to gain perspectives, understanding, meaning and clarity to enable personal growth.

“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” ―  Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

Why Existential Therapy?

Existential therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It views each individual as unique: Two people in the same situation may experience it entirely differently. Therapy is tailored to you―your feelings, your story, your choices.

In this approach, emotions are not dismissed or labelled, but explored. Anger is never just anger, anxiety is never just anxiety. Each emotion carries a message and a deeper meaning. By uncovering these, you can begin to use emotions as guides rather than obstacles.

“'They' even hide the process by which 'they' have quietly relieved us of the 'burden' of making choices for ourselves. It remains a complete mystery who has really done the choosing. We are carried along by the 'nobody', without making any real choices, becoming ever more deeply ensnared in inauthenticity. This process can be reversed only if we explicitly bring ourselves back from our lostness in the 'they'. But this bringing-back must have that kind of being by the neglect of which we have lost ourselves in inauthenticity.” ― Martin Heidegger

Whether you're facing challenges in your relationships—with family, a partner, friends, or at work—or struggling with difficult emotions or patterns you'd like to change, you're not alone.

If you're curious about how therapy might support you, I welcome you to get in touch. We can have an initial conversation to explore what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like the right fit.
