ACCEPTANCE ISN'T WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE. In ACT, we learn how to drop the struggle against thoughts and feelings that get in our way.  "Acceptance" in ACT isn't "being ok" with challenging or painful thoughts & emotions. It is about being able to step back from our unhelpful internal dialogues, emotions, memories, and so on.

 CONNECT TO WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO YOU.  Learn more about what you want to stand for, the life you want to live, and the person you want to be.  In ACT, we call these guiding principles our values.  Values in the ACT model help provide meaning and satisfaction in our lives.  Our values essentially serve as our compass for deciding on courses of action, including setting achievable and satisfying goals within the context of what's most important to you. 

GET UNSTUCK AND MOVE FORWARD. Work to address what's keeping you stuck or even making you move away from the life you want to live or the person you want to be. Address barriers (inside and out) to achieving goals that will enhance your satisfaction yourself and different aspects of your life. We work across the entire spectrum of problems that people run into in life - from difficulty motivating yourself all the way to severe anxiety disorders. Our ACT-based services are backed by research. Learn evidence-based tools to help get unstuck with a collaborative, warm, motivating ACT coach or therapist.
