Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. -Viktor E. Frankl

Treatment Approach:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a values-based therapeutic approach that emphasizes the importance of aligning our thoughts, feelings, and actions with our personal values. It consists of six phases that can be learned and practiced independently, allowing individuals to engage with the process in a way that best suits their needs. ACT helps clients develop psychological flexibility and commit to actions that enrich their lives, fostering a deeper connection with what they truly value.
