Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a type of therapy that helps you stop fighting your thoughts and emotions and instead learn to accept them while taking meaningful action toward a better life.
Rather than trying to “fix” or get rid of painful feelings, ACT teaches you how to make peace with them so they no longer control your life. It’s about accepting what’s out of your control while committing to actions that align with your values and goals.
At Nova Therapy, I use ACT to help you break free from negative thought patterns and build a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
