Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Griffin, GA
During our lives, we often experience emotional pain and adversity that leaves us feeling hopeless, powerless, or directionless. We might feel we are broken and need to be ‘fixed’. Therapy provides a path towards understanding ourselves more and increasing skills that can help us feel more able to handle difficult experiences and find growth. It helps us realize that we can find peace in the parts of life we do not like so that the parts that we love can shine. It is about finding acceptance in the uncomfortable times, and in being and becoming more of our unique selves.

Using Applied Behavior Analysis, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, my compassionate care approach is at the forefront of my practice.
Applied Behavior Analysis is a therapy based on the science of learning and behavior. It helps us understand how behavior works, how it affects the environment, and how learning occurs. ABA is an intervention that works across all ages and disciplines. My passion for ABA comes from seeing its success with my child, now an adult with autism. He is my purpose in this journey. Using visual data analysis, evidence-based assessments, and interventions, I can help you create focused and comprehensive goals such as social skills, self-management, and other impactful behavior to solve real problems and develop lifelong abilities.

The frameworks that most align with my work are Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, although I tend to incorporate a bit more of a poetic version of these counseling models that include the narratives and experiences of your personal history that may not be completely in your awareness.
With over 25 years of experience, I work with adult clients through the various struggles of life. I have a lot of interest in relationship concerns, self-concept issues, career development and transition experiences, and grief/loss concerns. Most of my work involves exploring the various (sometimes un-noticed) ways that fear and loneliness emerge during life, leading to a real struggle. We might also explore how your identities, beliefs, and values can be part of your growth, healing, and clarity on how to move forward. I offer a compassionate perspective on your issues and goals, so we can work, together, to move toward them.

I offer a space of unconditional acceptance and encouragement for you to explore your emotions and take steps toward lasting healing.
So much of how we see ourselves and the world is based on the beliefs we hold closely, sometimes unknowingly. These beliefs are developed and emphasized over time, feeling more and more like solid truth. All too often, these beliefs are not only untrue, they are harmful to our mental health and perception of who we are and what we're worth. I am dedicated to walking with you as you come to identify, understand and work through those beliefs to move toward self-compassion and growth. I am passionate about helping you to grow in self-awareness surrounding your emotions, relationships and ability to make changes within yourself.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
