Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps individuals accept their emotions and thoughts while focusing on actions aligned with their core values. This approach fosters psychological flexibility, allowing individuals to navigate challenges with greater emotional well-being and purpose.

What To Expect

A Safe and Confidential Space: In ACT, you’ll find a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can freely explore your thoughts and feelings. We prioritize your privacy and ensure that all conversations remain confidential, fostering a sense of trust and openness.

Personalized Treatment Plans: Every individual’s journey is different. In ACT, we take the time to understand your unique circumstances and goals, creating a treatment plan that aligns with your personal values and challenges.

Evidence-Based Techniques: ACT integrates evidence-based techniques that have been proven effective in treating issues like anxiety, depression, and trauma. You will learn practical tools to accept difficult emotions, detach from unhelpful thought patterns, and commit to value-based actions.

‍Collaborative Process: Therapy is a collaborative journey, and your input is invaluable. Together, we’ll explore the ways in which your thoughts and behaviors may be preventing you from living the life you want. We’ll work as a team to develop strategies that support meaningful change.

Continuous Support and Growth: ACT provides you with the tools you need to thrive even after therapy ends. Our focus is on equipping you with coping strategies and mindfulness techniques that promote long-term psychological flexibility and resilience.

Flexible and Convenient Scheduling: We offer flexible scheduling options, including in-person and virtual sessions, to make therapy accessible and convenient for your lifestyle. Whether you have a busy work schedule or need evening appointments, we’re here to support you.

My Approach

We'll start with a brief phone conversation so that I can get a sense of the kind of support that you are looking for.

In the first few sessions, I will learn more about you and together, we will explore the goals you have for therapy.

The length and number of sessions will differ depending on your goals and needs for therapy.
