Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a revolutionary science-based model of therapy and coaching that uses acceptance, mindfulness, commitment, and behavior change strategies to help you to be more present in your life, have more flexibility in your behavior, and live a life in accordance with your core values www.contextualpsychology.org/. 

The ACT model helps us to live more mindfully.  We learn how to relate to the ebbs and flows of our thoughts, emotions, and feelings more effectively.  We discover how to clarify what is truly important to us and how to purposefully take values-consistent action.  The result is that we increase our psychological flexibility - the ability to effectively adapt to life.                   This leads to greater vitality, fulfillment, and peace!

Recent research has shown that ACT interventions have been extremely effective at producing positive change in a wide spectrum of areas.  For example, studies have shown people manage their health more effectively, perform better at work, increase their tolerance to pain, improve their school attendance (adolescents), reduce burnout (therapists), decrease stress and anxiety levels, and have higher levels of life satisfaction to name just a few.
