Existential therapy

Existential therapy is a dynamic process involving a high level of depth, openness, and honesty. It is important for clients to know that my approach is unstructured and direct. I work with deeply reflective individuals who feel drawn to questions of purpose, identity, and meaning. Together, we explore the patterns, choices, and beliefs that shape their lives.

I view human experiences through a non-pathological lens, recognizing the unique complexity and humanity of each individual beyond labels. I tend to work well with those who have attended therapy in the past or who have already cultivated a high level of self-awareness.

My work honours the complexity and depth of each person, offering space for those who have often felt unseen or misunderstood. Many of my clients identify as neurodivergent, gifted, intense, or creative, and are learning to untangle the effects of complex trauma. I also work with couples and groups.

This service is provided in-person in Toronto, as well as virtually across Ontario and Canada where allowed. I (Ariane) am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO.

The cost for individual existential therapy is $180 per 60-minute session. Most insurance plans across Ontario cover psychotherapy services, and I provide receipts for reimbursement.
