Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Therapy & Consultations Detail
About this Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an action-oriented form of psychotherapy that stems from traditional behavior therapy. It teaches clients to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions, and instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations. By doing so, clients can make a commitment to make necessary changes in their behavior, regardless of what is going on in their lives.
When is it recommended?
Best suited for individuals dealing with workplace burnout, life transition struggles, grief, chronic pain adjustment, and general anxiety.
