Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Miami, FL
My methods of practice are influenced by second and third wave behavioral therapy including, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), and Mindful Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).
"Therapy is a journey one takes with a trusted professional who will walk side by side, at times guiding and at times following. There are no preconceived notions about this journey however brief or extended." These are the words I have shared over many years of training young professionals. Though I treat all types of individuals, my area of specialty is complex trauma - borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and dissociation. I am intensively trained in DBT and have been practicing and teaching DBT for over fifteen years. My team is DBT by Design/South FL DBT Consortium.

You already checked to make sure your front door was locked, and now you’re going to check again. It’s always the same struggle; an intrusive idea takes root and refuses to let go. From there, it spirals out of control, multiplying into countless variations and scenarios. You know that logically it doesn’t make any sense, but you can’t help yourself. "What's wrong with me?" you keep wondering. You’re constantly trapped in a cycle of distressing thoughts, compelled to engage in repetitive behaviors or safety measures. It's a constant battle, and you long for a life free from the grip of these obsessions and compulsions.

I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy ( ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy DBT, and Person-Centered.
Hi! Thank you for being here. Even if this might seem like a small step, you are taking the time to reach out for support, and that’s a huge accomplishment. At times, we feel like we can tackle the world, and then suddenly, things take an unexpected turn, and we no longer feel in control – hello, anxiety! Because change is constant, we must embark on a personal journey to understand our unique response to the feelings that can come with it. Together, through a creative and empathic approach, we can identify tools to meet your individual needs. Regardless of the approach, I believe a strong therapist-client relationship is key.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness! We all want this and deserve this, especially in our romantic relationships, so why do things go wrong? Lack of communication. The good news is, loving communication is a skill that can be learned, even after years of feeling stuck. When couples learn to talk about issues in a loving way, their whole relationship improves (yes, even in the bedroom!). Here's what we'll cover in counseling:
• How to bring up a problem that’s bothering you
• How to listen with an open heart
• How to make sure your partner feels heard

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.
