Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in Houston, Texas
ACT Therapy
I specialize in offering Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support individuals in overcoming challenges, fostering psychological flexibility, and living a meaningful life aligned with their values. ACT is a cutting-edge, evidence-based therapy approach that combines mindfulness, acceptance, and behavior change strategies to empower clients to create positive changes in their lives.
What is ACT?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based behavioral therapy that helps individuals develop psychological flexibility—the ability to be present, open up, and do what matters, even in the face of difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences. ACT encourages clients to cultivate mindfulness skills to observe their thoughts and emotions without judgment, accept them as they are, and take committed action towards living a life aligned with their values.
How Does ACT Work?
In ACT therapy sessions, I work collaboratively with clients to identify their values, clarify their goals, and develop practical strategies for overcoming obstacles and creating meaningful change. Through a combination of mindfulness exercises, experiential techniques, and behavior change interventions, clients learn to:
Develop mindfulness skills to increase present-moment awareness and acceptance
Recognize and defuse from unhelpful thoughts and beliefs
Clarify personal values and set meaningful goals
Take committed action towards values-aligned behavior
Cultivate self-compassion and acceptance
Build resilience and psychological flexibility in the face of life's challenges
Who Can Benefit from ACT?
ACT is a versatile therapy approach that can benefit individuals struggling with a wide range of psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, stress, eating disorders, trauma, relationship problems, and more. It is also effective for enhancing personal growth, improving overall well-being, and increasing resilience in the face of life's ups and downs.
