What is Presence Psychotherapy?
Presence Psychotherapy is a therapeutic approach, published in the APA Journal of Integrative Psychotherapy, developed by Michelle Lepak LCSW, that utilizes Presence Awareness and the client’s immediate, moment-to-moment experience to foster well-being, reduce anxiety, shame, depression, process grief and rage, and heal trauma. Unlike traditional talk therapy, it utilizes Four Dimensions of Presence and the wisdom of the body to resolve current distress and heal difficult experiences from the past.
