ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)

What is ACT?

ACT is an intervention that helps you to identify what you truly value in life, commit to action steps to help you live in those values, and find acceptance for the areas of life that are not exactly as you planned. 



This intervention also helps you accept your thoughts and feelings without judgement. This gives you space to focus on the present moment. The graphic below describes each element of ACT.

How can ACT help me?

Do you ever struggle with wondering if you are fulfilling your “purpose” in life? Do you have questions on how you can do this? Are you struggling with just going through the motions of life and want to feel alive and thriving again? Do you feel stuck in thought patterns and behaviors you want to change? ACT may be for you. 


It is inevitable to experience pain, grief, suffering in life. ACT can help you accept what you cannot control and focus on the values that can help you experience joy and peace amid suffering.

TBRI is an evidence-based intervention created to bring hope to families whose children have experienced trauma (birth, developmental, adoption, medical, loss, etc.). This intervention also is a great fit for many families whose child has not experienced trauma.

TheraPlay is a subset of Play Therapy. Each subset has a different theory behind it and TheraPlay is founded on the attachment theory. The Attachment Theory is the belief that the relationship between a child and a parent strongly influences a child’s development and ability to form healthy relationships.
