Jill felt lonely in her marriage. Jack felt overwhelmed and constantly falling short. She longed for emotional connection and partnership; he came home depleted, wanting calm but unsure how to give what she needed. When Jill reached out, Jack often heard criticism and shut down. When Jack withdrew, Jill felt invisible and hurt. Over time, small disappointments turned into distance. Both still cared deeply, but every conversation seemed to confirm the same painful cycle—one pursuing, the other retreating, neither feeling truly heard.

The world we live in is often chaotic, demanding, and oppressive. It requires so much of us - our time, our labor, our money - and for many of us the psychological and relational cost is high. Perhaps you are feeling isolated from community, stretched thin with responsibilities, anxious with the state of the world, or dealing with trauma wounds that haunt you and impact your relationships. Together we can dig at the root of what you feel, leading with curiosity and compassion as we do transformative work. Your inner and outer world are equally important and deserve our time and attention.

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.
