Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
IN-PERSON IN CALGARY & ONLINE ACROSS ALBERTA
Helping you to detach from your thoughts, feel your emotions in a way that isn't so overwhelming, and commit to actions that align with your values.
What is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, practical cognitive-behavioural approach to help you live a life that feels more fulfilling and true to who you are.
Its aim is to increase psychological flexibility.
Psychological flexibility is your ability to adapt to life’s challenges and changes while staying true to what really matters to you. It’s about being open to your thoughts and emotions—both the good and the tough ones—without letting them control your actions.
When you’re psychologically flexible, you can:
Adjust your mindset in the face of setbacks or stress.
Stay present and focused on what’s happening right now, instead of getting stuck in worry or regret.
Take meaningful action guided by your values, even when things feel uncomfortable or uncertain.
Think of it like bending in the wind rather than breaking—it’s what helps you grow, cope, and thrive, no matter what life throws your way.

How does ACT work? What does an ACT therapist do?
Your ACT therapist will help you develop tools and insights to:
Handle tough thoughts and emotions: Learn skills to face the hard stuff without letting it take over or hold you back.
Get clear on your values: Figure out what really matters to you—how you want to live and show up—and let that guide your choices.
Stay present and focused: Shift your attention to what’s meaningful right now so you can spend more time in the present moment and out of your mind.
It’s all about building a life that aligns with what matters most to you, even when things get hard.
