What is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an approach to counseling that helps people to open up, be present, and take meaningful action in their lives. Acceptance is about making space for our experiences, and commitment is about taking action that is rooted in our values. If you find yourself trying so hard to avoid depression, anxiety, anger, grief, or any other experience, ACT is for you. If you have no idea what your values even are, ACT is for you.
