Have you wondered, "Am I the only one struggling?" or, "Why can't I just be happy?" Maybe you've experienced loss, rejection, or betrayal. Maybe physical illness or emotional pain like loneliness, sadness, fear, and worry drag you down. Maybe devastating trauma or abuse refuses to stay in the past. Whether you've experienced more tragedy and hardship than most, or just think, "Most folks seem to be living their lives better than me," therapy has been proven to help.

I use EMDR, ACT, and Somatic Experiencing techniques to help you deal with those gut-punching emotions and memories, so you’re not emotionally hijacked by your past.
Overthinking and worst-case-scenario planning keep you distracted and irritable lately. You’re the go-to person when others want to vent. They know you'll try to help, but you're getting resentful of the earfuls of TMI. If you’re honest, it's getting old to be called selfish when you try to take some alone time. You haven't been feeling like yourself, and are starting to wonder if there's something wrong with you. You want to understand what you're feeling, and why- but most of all, how to change it.

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.
