The Hopeful Existentialist

Vi LeBreton LPC-Associate Supervised by Laura Wright Quintanar LPC-S

"Life is not primarily a quest for pleasure as Freud believed, or a quest for power as Alfred Adler taught, but a quest for meaning." - Viktor Frankl

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it."
- Helen Keller

The Hopeful Existentialist: Vi (she/her/they)

Hi. My name is Vi and I am an intersectional feminist, existential, eclectic, somatic informed, trauma informed and holistic based therapist.

As a holistic therapist, I believe in incorporating techniques to help growth on:

the psychological level,

the emotional level,

the somatic (physical) level, and

the human ( aka spiritual/existential) level (i.e. values, meaning, spirituality, etc.)

As an existential oriented therapist, the dynamics of existential philosophy at the human level (spirituality), is often discussed and/or incorporated from a non-religious context. The context of spirituality is based upon your own beliefs and meaning regarding what you believe and value.

During the screening and intake process, we can discuss any questions you may have regarding any of the concepts regarding therapy and my therapy style.

Email me at vi@thehopefulexistentialist.com to set up a free 30 minute consultation or to ask any questions.

What is a Cycle Breaker?

A cycle breaker is often a common term used to mean a person who recognizes harmful traits, behaviors, thinking styles, patterns, characteristics, ways of relating, and/or abusive dynamics in their family system, community, religious circles/church, or other groups, that they do not want to be a part of nor continue.

This often involves sometimes having to distance oneself, and/or one's family, from different environments or relationships due to the harmful patterns and dynamics.

Many people often have feelings of guilt, shame, isolation, grief, loss, and a range of many emotions. It is common for individuals to question many beliefs and perspectives, regarding what they may have previously ignored, tolerated, "normalized", or "pathologized".

Many people may struggle with parts of their identities, self-esteem, past experiences, internalized abuse, and negative beliefs about the world, self and others.

Cycle breakers often are seeking to work on healing while understanding their past and present.

Many cycle breakers are also trying to figure out their authentic values, what they consider to be "healthy", and how to move forward.

Crisis & Coping Resources

There is a dark path in the forest with trees arching around the path. The image is dark but interesting with dark brown dirt on the ground, dark green trees, black shadows, and some golden light flittering around the trees.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way." - Viktor Frankl
“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and freedom.” —Viktor Frankl"

There is a black drawing of an outstretched hand with a sparkle above it.

"Life is a continual emerging, a becoming of one's true self."
- Existential Theory, Derek Truscott

There is a dark blue sky with many tiny stars and the appearance of a galaxy groupings far away. There are trees on the left cast in shadow framing the left side with black silhouette.
