Approach: ACT
Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps you make room for uncomfortable thoughts and feelings while you keep moving toward what matters to you. You don't have to wait for anxiety or doubt to go away before making changes in your life. ACT combines acceptance skills with clear, practical steps based on your own values.
Core Skills
ACT tends to suit people who have tried to think their way out of anxiety or self-doubt and found the argument never ends. It's also useful during life transitions, when the more important question is what you want to build next.
In ACT, accepting a feeling means letting it be there while you get on with your day. You can accept the feeling and still work hard to change the situation behind it. In practice, people often find they have more energy for making changes once they stop spending so much of the day managing how they feel.
More About ACT
Values are directions you keep moving in, such as being a present parent or doing honest work, and you can act on them today in small ways. We help you make them specific enough that you'd recognize a step toward them when you take one.
When anxiety or doubt comes up, the question changes from how to make it stop to what you'd do next if you let it come along.
Sessions last 50 to 60 minutes and combine conversation with short, hands-on exercises. Most end with one step you've agreed to try before your next appointment.
Video sessions are open to clients anywhere in Florida or New York, and in-person ACT sessions take place in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove and Manhattan.
