“Real freedom is the ability to pause between stimulus and response, and in that pause, choose.”
Rollo May

“I feel like I don’t know who I am.”
“I feel overwhelmed. The daily grind is grinding me”
“I’m so stressed out I feel like I’m always on edge.”
Does this sound like you?
Life can leave us feeling hopeless, confused and stressed out. Together, we can learn to confront questions about stress, life, meaning, connection and purpose in a way that empowers you.
Existential therapy can be useful in treating psychological concerns that are thought to result from an inhibited ability to make authentic, meaningful, and self-directed choices. Existential anxiety therapy or stress therapy has been shown to work well with clients experiencing anxiety, stress, and even complex PTSD. Interventions often aim to heighten self-awareness and self-understanding.
Existential psychology suggests that there are basic “givens” in life that can create anxiety. The need for meaningfulness, fear of isolation, freedom (and its corresponding responsibility) and fear of our own mortality. We human beings will go to extreme lengths to avoid these realities. However, by that avoidance, we never really face those challenges directly and they begin to direct our lives and actions without us realizing it.
We often have experiences that cause us to evaluate the differential between who we are on the surface and who we are authentically. Such is the meaning of life. The meaning of life is not some airy-fairy, mystical concept. The meaning of our lives is what we create it to be. Since we create our life’s meaning, that freedom and corresponding responsibility can create an existential crisis. It’s like having so many options on the menu that making a decision is stressful. Except the items on the menu are components & decisions of your life.
Liaison. is committed to helping individuals navigate the challenges of life by taking ownership of and improving their own lives. Based in existential philosophy, our therapy sessions focus on addressing common adversities that most people face, such as finding meaning, the fear of abandonment, need for connection and the magnitude of our own responsibility for our lives.
One-on-one sessions enable profound self-reflection and growth. Existential psychotherapy provides a uniquely personal therapeutic relationship that allows for authenticity, vulnerability, openness and the resulting personal development & growth.

MEET YOUR Therapist
My name is Genevieve Marcel and I am an Existential Therapist & Certified Trauma Professional.
I understand many people that you talk to about life stress anxiety only feel comfortable in that conversation to a point. And that point is reached pretty quickly. Once one crosses the threshold of details of the lived experience, it can get convoluted. Some people in our support system exit stage left either physically or emotionally. Not because they do not care, but because it may be too difficult of a conversation for them to have.
That leaves a void for many of us. I wanted to fill that void the best way that I could. Hence, I created Liaison for personal development.
As a therapist, I believe that you deserve a liaison that can listen without imposing their own values, be open to understand and non-judgmentally dwell in that moment with all of those shades of gray with a psychological perspective.
