Hi I’m Pam Pressman - I offer holistic psychotherapy privately and in groups at Village Wellness.
At the heart of my work is relationship - the healing connection that allows us to feel seen, understood, and supported as we grow. I bring over forty years of experience as a psychotherapist, spiritual seeker, and lifelong student of human transformation, weaving together both traditional psychology and spiritual wisdom.
My career began at the University of Pennsylvania Department of Psychiatry, where I found a community that became like family throughout my 20s and 30s. That time gave me a strong foundation in the clinical world - but my personal path kept calling me to explore beyond it. I was drawn to teachers and traditions that spoke to the deeper mysteries of being human, and I began blending these insights with my psychotherapy practice.
Over the years, I’ve trained in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (Sue Johnson), the Neuroemotional Technique (Marcus Institute of Integrative Health), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (University of Pennsylvania), Internal Family Systems (Frank Anderson, PhD), and Sex Therapy (Council for Relationships, 2013).
Alongside that, I’ve spent decades studying with teachers of Buddhism, Shamanism, and Indigenous healing traditions, exploring practices like Mindfulness, Somatic Therapies, Transpersonal Breathwork, and Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy. My current mentors include Jack Kornfield, Spring Washam, Amoda Maa, and Dr. Joe Tafur, whose River Course I recently completed, rooted in the traditional wisdom of the Shipibo people of Peru.
What I’ve learned through all of this is that we heal in connection — not alone. When we meet with presence, curiosity, and compassion, something new becomes possible. I love walking beside others as they reconnect with their inner wisdom, release old patterns, and rediscover what’s most alive within them.

Lance is such a gentle, kind, and affirming healer. I felt very supported and safe during my session. The session never felt rushed and I left the session with some aftercare exercises to support my treatment. - Craig
