What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
Healing Through ACT and Behavioral Therapy
At Awaken, we use evidence-based therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Behavioral Therapy to help women step out of cycles of depression, anxiety, and unhealthy substance use patterns. These approaches focus on awareness, choice, and action—teaching you how to gently notice your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and reconnect with what truly matters to you.
ACT helps you build psychological flexibility—the ability to feel what you feel without being held back by it—while Behavioral Therapy provides practical tools for creating new habits and reinforcing positive change. Together, they create a pathway toward greater balance, resilience, and vitality, so you can move from surviving to truly living.
Make therapy count.
“Awaken has truly changed my life. I saw another therapist for years but I ended up repeating the same patterns over and over again. Through working with and applying ACT to my life, I was able to give up drinking and pursue some of the dreams that I had been avoiding out of fear. Little by little, step by step, and layer by layer, things have become new. I am forever grateful.”
