Couple, Family, and Individual Therapy, Training, Supervision
With individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, compulsive behavior, addictions, or feeling stuck, I use methods drawn from ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).
ACT is a cutting edge cognitive behavior therapy approach that uses mindfulness and acceptance methods to help people clarify what they value, develop goals, understand and work around the barriers they face in their minds and in their world, and persevere as they take action until changes solidify. For more on this approach see http://bigthink.com/videos/big-think-interview-with-steven-hayes (from the 3:00 min mark to 6:40 min mark) and also https://contextualscience.org/files/article%20psychOz.pdf.
