This article aims to discuss fundamental interrelated aspects of human existence, such as the phenomenon of anguish, the Erosdimension of love, inter-human encounters and the meaning of existence, extracting implications for the foundation of an existentialist clinic. It also seeks to carry out a dialogue between philosophy and psychoanalysis in the approach of the Erosnotion, offering an existentialist reinterpretation of it. The existentialism used is delimited by the following thinkers: Kierkegaard, Buber, Levinas, Frankl and Marcel. The methodology consists of a non-systematic literature review; the method used is the conceptual investigation. One of the main implications for the clinic concerns the reconciliation with anguish, which happens through love, in the sense of building authentic encounters; it is a clinic not guided by mechanization, but which enables the recognition of otherness in its uniqueness, the opening of the being to the human and the filling of the existence of meaning.
