Faith Integrated Holistic Care
Providing Counseling, Consultation and Support Using an Experientially, Relationally and Theologically Integrated Model.
Transforming Presence was created by Paul Highfill, LMFT, a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than twenty years of experience in foster care, community mental health, leadership, training, and faith-integrated care.
At the heart of this work is a simple conviction:
We become more fully present when we learn to recognize what has formed us and how we are connected with ourselves, others and God.
Confidential clinical support for Tennessee residents navigating emotional, relational, family, mental-health, or spiritual concerns. Faith integration is available when desired but is never forced.
Support for individuals who want greater clarity, spiritual connection, self-understanding, and practical movement from insight into action. Consultation and coaching are not psychotherapy.
Formation-based training and consultation for churches, ministries, nonprofits, caregivers, and helping professionals seeking more integrated and sustainable ways to care for people.
Transforming Presence is growing toward a broader model of integrated care, formation, and service. The developing vision includes:
Courses, groups, resources, and guided experiences using Reflect, Reveal, Restore, and Renew.
Equipping people to offer safe, ethical, trauma-informed, and spiritually grounded presence within their existing relationships and communities.
Developing clearer pathways among counselors, coaches, ministers, churches, organizations, and community resources so people are not left to navigate fragmented systems alone.
Helping churches and ministries strengthen pastoral care, outreach, volunteer support, referral practices, and whole-person formation.
Creating opportunities for people to responsibly use what they have lived and learned to recognize needs, accompany others, and contribute their gifts.
Presence-Centered Formation, or PCF, is a practical framework for understanding how lived experience shapes the way we relate to ourselves, other people, our circumstances, and God.
PCF integrates therapeutic understanding, spiritual formation, relational awareness, and practical application through four movements listed below:.
Slow down and notice what is happening in your body, emotions, thoughts, relationships, circumstances, and spiritual life.
Explore what the experience exposes about your beliefs, needs, desires, wounds, protective patterns, expectations, and formation.
Identify and receive the truth, safety, grace, accountability, grief, relationship, or repair needed for greater integration
Practice a more present way of believing, relating, responding, serving, and participating in life with God and others.
