Understanding ACT

What is ACT?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that helps you embrace difficult experiences while taking meaningful action.

Unlike therapies that focus on eliminating symptoms, ACT emphasizes building psychological flexibility—the ability to be present, open up to experience, and do what matters.
