Life Purpose Therapy

If you are facing existential questions about why you’re here or what your life’s calling is, there is hope. Make an appointment with TheraVault today, and get help with figuring out life. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Life Purpose and Identity Concerns: Discover Who You Are and Why You’re Here

Explore existential questions, clarify your values, and create a meaningful life aligned with your authentic self through life purpose therapy and purpose coaching

At different stages of life, many people experience an identity crisis or ask profound questions: “Who am I really?” “What is my purpose?” “What gives my life meaning?” These moments often arise during major transitions, career shifts, or life events that challenge your sense of direction. Whether you are a young adult exploring your path, navigating midlife questions, or seeking deeper fulfillment, existential counseling and meaning therapy can provide support and clarity.

At TheraVault, our trauma-informed therapists offer personalized life purpose therapy and purpose coaching to help you explore your values, reconcile internal conflicts, and live authentically. We believe that the journey toward meaning and identity is unique to each person and deserves compassionate, guided exploration.

Common Identity and Purpose Concerns

Identity Confusion and Uncertainty

  • Feeling unclear about who you are beyond your roles
  • Questioning your core values, beliefs, or personality traits
  • Living according to others’ expectations rather than your own
  • Uncertainty about authentic interests, preferences, and desires
  • Identity crisis following major life transitions

Existential Emptiness and Meaninglessness

  • Feeling that life lacks direction or purpose despite achievements
  • Persistent sense of emptiness or hollowness in daily life
  • Questioning the long-term significance of your actions

  • Difficulty deciding between multiple life paths or career options
  • Struggling to align work with personal values and purpose

Meet Our Founder

Neil Schierholz PsyD

I am the founder of Angeles Psychology Group and a Clinical Psychologist with a focus on helping people heal from chaos, overwhelm, harshness, and social inhibitions.  Much of my work focuses on relationships: The relationship you have with yourself, others, the environment, and the cosmos.

I help people come home to who they really are, either by remembering it or discovering it for the first time.  This happens through dismantling and gaining lasting freedom from unconscious defenses that are holding you back from having the life you really want and can have.  I primarily use holistic character analysis and orgonomic (somatic) therapy in my work, coupled with a strong sociocultural, feminist orientation.

I work with adult individuals, couples, families, and all sorts of personal and professional relationships.

Research shows that the relationship you have with your therapist is the most important factor for successful outcomes. Let’s get started with a free consultation to explore if I’m the best fit for you.

To schedule all other appointments with me, please use my online booking system.
