This initial meeting is an opportunity for the client to get a sense of whether they feel comfortable with the therapist and whether they think the therapist is a good fit for their needs. It is also an opportunity for the therapist to assess whether they have the necessary expertise and experience to help the client.

Existential Holistic Psychotherapy

Existential Holistic Therapy represents a transformative approach to mental health that delves into the depths of human existence. Grounded in existential philosophy, this therapeutic model goes beyond traditional methods by exploring the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. It recognizes the profound impact of one's unique life experiences and existential concerns, fostering a deep understanding of the individual's authentic self. Drawing from various perspectives in psychology and philosophy, existential holistic therapy seeks to guide individuals toward a more profound self-awareness and a meaningful engagement with the complexities of their existence. 

The Existential Congruence Theory

The Existential Congruence Theory (ECT) is an integrated framework of existential cause and treatment of mental health disorders. It combines psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and humanistic concepts to promote holistic wellness and fulfilling life. This integrative approach enables individuals to explore the depths of their existence, examine the underlying factors contributing to mental health challenges, and develop strategies for achieving congruence between their authentic selves and the world around them. In embracing the richness of psychodynamic insights, the practicality of cognitive-behavioral techniques, and the humanistic emphasis on personal growth, ECT offers a nuanced and versatile framework for psychotherapy.
