Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you make peace with what you can’t control and take action on what really matters. It’s about learning to live with more presence, compassion, and flexibility — even when life doesn’t go the way you planned.

  • Focuses on:

    Building psychological flexibility — the ability to stay grounded and move toward your values, even when discomfort or fear shows up.

  • Helpful for:

    People who feel stuck in self-criticism, anxiety, avoidance, or perfectionism. It’s especially supportive if you spend a lot of energy trying to “fix” or control your thoughts and emotions.

  • How it works:

    ACT combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies. You’ll learn to observe your thoughts without getting tangled in them, make room for emotions instead of fighting them, and choose actions that align with your deeper values.

  • What to expect in an ACT session:

    In sessions, we’ll notice how your mind tries to protect you — often with worry, control, or avoidance — and practice new ways of relating to those thoughts and feelings. You’ll build tools to stay present, connected to what matters most, and committed to small, meaningful steps toward the life you want to live.
