What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

ACT Explained.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an evidence based therapy that focuses on getting to living the good life rather than focusing on the challenges and the pain or trying to change one’s thoughts and feelings. ACT enables people to hold space for the tough stuff while staying focused on what truly matters to them. As a result, ACT brings peace, well-being, and movement towards a life of fulfillment aligned with ones values and deep desires.

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.”
