Presence Therapy does not rely on diagnosis-specific pathways.
Instead, it may be considered when a patient:
is experiencing ongoing stress, anxiety, or emotional difficulty
feels “stuck” or not progressing despite previous approaches
is open to exploring experience in a non-directive, group setting
expresses curiosity about how their mind or reactions work
There is no strict definition of an “ideal” patient.
In practice, a warm recommendation from a trusted provider often makes the most difference.
Some patients may initially feel uncertain about what to expect.
Initial uncertainty is not a barrier.
The approach does not require prior experience, specific beliefs, or a particular level of insight.
What matters most is a willingness — however small — to attend and observe what unfolds.
If you are interested in Presence Therapy:
• speak with your family physician or healthcare provider
• ask whether a referral may be appropriate
If you do not have a referring provider, please contact the clinic to discuss next steps.
Presence Therapy is a group-based experience that integrates ear acupuncture with simple awareness-based observation.
Rather than focusing on changing thoughts or symptoms directly, participants are invited to notice what is already happening in real time.
Over time, this often leads to a different relationship with stress, thoughts, and emotional patterns.
