Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people build a healthier relationship with difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward what matters most. ACT is evidence-based and emphasizes psychological flexibility, values, and mindfulness.

ACT therapy is available with care tailored to your individual needs and pace.

Who ACT Therapy Is For

ACT may be a good fit if you:

  • Feel stuck in cycles of worry or self-criticism
  • Want to live more in line with your values
  • Are navigating life transitions or identity questions
  • Prefer a compassionate, flexible approach

How ACT Therapy Works

ACT focuses less on eliminating discomfort and more on changing how you relate to it. Therapy includes mindfulness practices, values exploration, and practical steps toward meaningful action.

What Therapy Can Look Like (Example)

Instead of trying to stop anxious thoughts, you may learn how to notice them without getting pulled in, while still taking steps toward relationships, work, or activities that matter to you.
