I believe it is an act of bravery to feel your feelings.
The idea of going to therapy can feel very intimidating, you might not have had the best experience in the past, you might feel overwhelmed with where to start or feel completely ready to start therapy. Overall, it can be hard to be vulnerable with feelings and emotions. If you are already looking into therapy, that means part of yourself believes that you are capable of feeling more empowered in yourself and also deserve a place to feel listened too. These feelings are all normal and welcome, and I will meet you where you are at

Is your Google Search Bar all too familiar with the searches, “Do I need counseling” or “Symptoms of depression/anxiety”? You know something is off but aren’t sure exactly what it is. Asking for help, saying no, and talking about the tough stuff tend to be at the top of your "No thanks" list, but you know deep down that thing (or several things) from your past keeps creeping up more and more often. Maybe you’ve noticed that your relationships are starting to feel like cycles, or your self-worth is running low. You’re wanting to feel confident, achieve goals, and get out of the funk that some emotions seem to put you in.

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.
