My integrative approach for individuals pulls from various interventions like cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy ( ACT), solution-focused, somatic, attachment theory and positive psychology models.
Every person goes through multiple transitions in their life at different ages, specifically in adolescence and throughout adulthood. Change can sometimes, bring you unexpected stress, anxiety, feelings of overwhelm or helplessness. When your usual coping tools are no longer working, or you are experiencing an increase in negative thinking, emotional reactivity and maladaptive behaviours, then finding a psychotherapist to work with and help you to identify new goals, explore alternative coping skills and co-create a therapeutic plan to help navigate life stressors can be helpful.

Together, we focus on clarity, healing, and meaningful change.

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.
