What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?


Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy that empowers individuals to accept their thoughts and emotions while committing to value-driven actions. By developing psychological flexibility, ACT helps you break free from the struggle against inner experiences and focus on creating a rich, meaningful life aligned with your values.

How ACT Can Help You

☑️ Learn to accept and make room for difficult thoughts and emotions

☑️ Clarify your personal values and set meaningful goals

☑️ Develop mindfulness skills to stay present and engaged

☑️ Cultivate self-compassion and reduce self-judgment

☑️ Commit to actions that enrich your life and relationships
