Our Approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT Therapy)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages individuals to embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. It focuses on values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, living in the present moment, and accessing a transcendent sense of self.
At a glance
ACT combines mindfulness strategies with the practice of self-acceptance. It’s particularly effective for treating anxiety, depression, and stress by helping individuals live and behave in ways consistent with personal values while developing psychological flexibility.
What to Expect
In ACT sessions, you’ll learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with your inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent you from moving forward with your life.
How Can ACT Help
ACT has been empirically supported to help with a wide range of psychological issues, providing a life-affirming approach to coping with life’s challenges. It teaches coping strategies for dealing with painful thoughts and feelings effectively so they have less impact and influence over your life.
How Effective is ACT
Research indicates ACT is highly effective, particularly for depression, anxiety, and stress, showing significant long-term benefits. By fostering acceptance and psychological flexibility, it allows individuals to lead a fulfilling life.
