Our calm, private therapy space in Mequon
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on changing how you relate to thoughts, feelings, and internal experiences—so they have less power over your actions and your life. Instead of trying to control or eliminate difficult emotions, ACT helps you build flexibility, clarity, and momentum toward what matters most to you.
You may be noticing:
Feeling caught in anxious thoughts, worries, or mental “noise” that won’t quiet down
Trying hard to avoid discomfort, emotions, or situations—yet still feeling stuck
Harsh self-judgment or getting pulled into unhelpful thought patterns
Anxiety, stress, or sadness that interferes with daily life or relationships
Feeling disconnected from your values or unsure how to move forward
Knowing what you want to change, but feeling blocked or overwhelmed
ACT helps you make space for difficult experiences while learning practical skills to respond with intention, self-compassion, and purpose—rather than reacting on autopilot.
Are you in a struggle with your thoughts or emotions?
If any of this resonates with you, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a collaborative, experiential approach that focuses on helping you respond differently to difficult thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Rather than trying to eliminate discomfort, ACT supports you in building psychological flexibility—so you can move toward what matters, even when things feel hard.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. We’ll move at a pace that feels supportive and intentional, while focusing on meaningful, values-driven change.
In ACT therapy, we may:
Explore how thoughts, emotions, and avoidance patterns show up in your daily life
Practice noticing thoughts without getting pulled into or controlled by them
Build skills for making space for difficult feelings with greater self-compassion
Clarify your personal values and what you want your life to stand for
Take small, realistic steps toward meaningful action aligned with those values
Therapy is collaborative, flexible, and shaped around your goals—there’s no rigid formula or one-size-fits-all approach.
What ACT Therapy Looks Like
