Therapist Overview
Using Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), I will help you recognize ways in which your attempts to suppress, manage, and control negative emotional experiences can create more problems. By recognizing and addressing these problems, you will have a way out of suffering by choosing to live a life based on what matters most to you. The goal is to stop you from getting caught up in painful thoughts feelings, and experiences that may leave you feeling stuck, frustrated and suffering. You will learn to disengage from painful thoughts and feelings through acceptance and mindfulness skills, to develop psychological flexibility and to build life-enhancing patterns of behavior.
