Accept & Commit Better
This 6-week program supports you in managing thoughts, values, and committed action.
Feeling stuck in unhelpful thoughts, unclear values, or unsure how to move forward?
Join small, supportive groups led by skilled therapists using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques to practice acceptance, cognitive defusion, clarify your values, and create a committed action plan. Our compassionate team is here to guide you through these challenging moments toward meaningful progress.

Platform Compatibility: Join in-person or online on our HIPAA-compliant platform accessible on all devices.
