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.

How are 4 Dimensions of Presence Helpful in Psychotherapy?








We all process and perceive differently.  Everyone seems to easily experience at least one of the Four Dimensions of Presence.   Discover your unique way to easily experience and sustain awareness of Presence, and if you are therapist, the way each of your client innately experiences it.   Each dimension of Presence provides unique benefits in daily life and during trauma processing.  .

The opening of Awareness that can occur in the Presence Psychotherapy’s Presence Orienting process, for some, can be akin to Awareness of connectedness, oneness, colors, and/or ubiquitous love can be experienced through psychedelics without side effects.
