Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in New York & Florida
What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based approach that helps individuals move beyond the struggle with painful thoughts and emotions. Instead of trying to eliminate or control unwanted feelings, ACT encourages you to accept them as part of the human experience—while focusing on what truly matters in your life. By clarifying your personal values and committing to actions that align with those values, you can break free from emotional distress and cultivate a more fulfilling, purposeful life.
Key Concepts in ACT
Clarifying Personal Values
We work together to identify your core values—what truly matters to you—so they can guide your decisions and behavior.
Committed Action
Take meaningful steps that align with your values, even when faced with emotional discomfort. This builds resilience and long-term satisfaction.
Real-Life Applications of ACT
