Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based form of psychotherapy that helps individuals embrace life’s challenges without being overwhelmed by them. Instead of avoiding difficult thoughts and feelings, ACT teaches you how to accept them while committing to actions that align with your personal values.

​

How ACT Works

ACT focuses on six core processes that promote psychological flexibility:

   1.    Cognitive Defusion – Learning to step back from unhelpful thoughts and observe them without judgment.
   2.    Acceptance – Making space for painful emotions instead of fighting or suppressing them.
   3.    Present Moment Awareness – Becoming more mindful and connected to the here and now.
   4.    Self-as-Context – Understanding that you are more than your thoughts and emotions.
   5.    Values Clarification – Identifying what truly matters to you.
   6.    Committed Action – Taking meaningful steps toward your goals, even in the presence of discomfort.

​

Who Can Benefit from ACT?

ACT can be effective for a wide range of issues, including:
   •    Anxiety and depression
   •    Chronic pain
   •    Stress and burnout
   •    Trauma and PTSD
   •    Relationship struggles
   •    Life transitions

​

Why Choose ACT?

Unlike traditional approaches that aim to eliminate distress, ACT helps you build a richer, more meaningful life while learning how to coexist with the full range of human emotions. It’s about living better—not just feeling better.
