Existential-
Humanistic
Existential-Humanistic (E-H) therapy serves as the foundational framework guiding treatment at Lam Counseling Services. All other approaches we utilize are integrated within this perspective.
E-H is a non-labeling approach, seeing psychological labels - such as symptoms and diagnoses - as expressions of life’s fundamental challenges including finding meaning, exercising freedom, fostering connectedness and confronting mortality.
Consequently, therapy is not merely about treating a “sickness”, but about addressing the whole person and the posture of living that contributes to their presenting issues.
How It Works
E-H is a flexible and dynamic approach, but at its core, E-H therapy provides a space for clients to explore two key questions:
How am I presently living?
How am I willing to live?
These questions help clients confront how their current ways of living—with others and themselves—might be hindering meaningful and fulfilling lives. Through this process, clients are empowered to make changes that align with their values and purpose, fostering not only symptom relief but also personal transformation.
