Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that helps you stop struggling with difficult thoughts and emotions—and start moving toward the life you want to live. Instead of trying to “get rid of” uncomfortable feelings, ACT teaches you skills to make space for them, understand them, and respond in ways that align with your personal values.

What ACT Helps Treat

ACT is effective for:

• Anxiety and worry
  
• Depression
  
• Trauma-related symptoms
  
• Stress and burnout
  
• Emotional avoidance
  
• Life transitions
  
• Grief and loss
  
• Relationship challenges
  
• Chronic pain or difficult physical symptoms
  

How ACT Works

In therapy, we work together to:

• Use mindfulness to notice unhelpful thoughts without getting overwhelmed
  
• Develop acceptance strategies for emotions that feel heavy or stuck
  
• Identify your core values and what truly matters to you
  
• Take small, meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling life
  
• Break free from patterns of avoidance and self-criticism
  

ACT empowers you to live with more clarity, purpose, and emotional flexibility. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s building a life that reflects who you truly are.
