I integrate different modalities such as Narrative and Somatic therapies, hypnosis, CBT, and ACT in order to offer a tailor-made experience to my clients.
Life transitions can unsettle your sense of self at any age. Women of all ages experience changes and transitions that leave them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly lost. You may be facing immigration, menopause, health concerns, career changes, grief, or an identity that no longer fits. Even positive change can feel disorienting. Even long-awaited milestones can carry unexpected grief. Standing at the threshold of adulthood, about to get married, or navigating motherhood can still be challenging. You do not need to be in crisis to seek support.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
