Meet Michael Tugendhat!
Meet Michael Tugendhat!
At Pain to Presence Psychotherapy, you’ll find a trauma-informed virtual space where your mind, body, emotions, and spirit are honored. Instead of focusing on getting rid of pain, many of the approaches I use connect you with all parts of your inner world: both what’s protecting you and what’s hurting underneath.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is the primary framework that I view the human experience—offering a compassionate, humanistic, respectful way to work with the most tender inner spaces. Alongside IFS, I bring numerous integrative approaches to find the best combination to meet your specific needs.
