Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Mars, PA
Life's challenges can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, and stressed. Each stage of life presents a challenge, whether in parenting, work, or relationships. These moments invite us to learn and grow, and I believe there is joy to be found in each when we remain curious and open to all possibilities. Life is not one final destination, but rather one with many beautiful destinations to be seen. You, as the client, are the expert on your own life, and as the therapist I have the education, training, and expertise to help you tell your story, ease your pain, and get what you want out of life.

Are you a parent who feels like nothing you try is working? You may be dealing with challenging behaviors, emotional outbursts, anxiety, or defiance—and despite your best efforts, you feel exhausted and discouraged. Some parents face these struggles during pregnancy or after birth, navigating perinatal anxiety or depression. Others are parenting through divorce or separation. When family life feels strained and transitions feel overwhelming, many parents quietly wonder, “Why is this so hard?” or “Am I failing my child?” Left unaddressed, these challenges can impact connection, emotional regulation, and long-term family relationships

Many of the adults and teenagers I work with come to me feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and isolated—silently struggling with anxiety, depression, or the lingering impact of trauma.

I’m here to help you find that connection again.

I also have extensive training in Attachment Theory and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.
Change can come in many forms in our lives. It might come suddenly like a tidal wave, or gradually like a slow dripping leak. It might come in the form of devastating tragedy, difficult choices, broken relationships, or even new opportunities. Although change can be extremely hard, it can also be extremely necessary. Experiencing anything great in life requires us to challenge ourselves to push past our comfort zones. However, we oftentimes avoid change out of fear of the unknown, or self-doubt. Other times, we don’t realize the need for change until we experience pain.

Let’s be honest, life doesn’t come with a manual. But that doesn’t mean you have to figure it all out alone. Hi, I’m Tammy, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes that therapy doesn’t have to feel like a chore or a courtroom. It’s more like a conversation with someone who really gets it (and happens to be trained in evidence-based strategies that actually work).

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.
