Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Allen Park, MI
But we can change how we think about and re act to the situations in life that are causing us to be unhappy; that is where true freedom lies, and then we begin to change our individual futures.
Seeking help when you are going through difficult times really comes down to one desire-you seek change. We want to change the things in our lives that are causing us pain or distress. Whether it be external circumstances or something about us or within us, how many times have we said to ourselves, “if I could change this, or just change that, then I will happy.” Sometimes we can make the changes we seek and are still not happy, or not as happy as we thought we would be. Why is that? Other times that process can seem like a road that never reaches its destination.

You can’t believe your relationship has gotten this cold. Conversations turn into arguments filled with personal shots, past issues, and defensiveness. It's hard to communicate without feeling judged. You’ve tried countless strategies to get back on track, but nothing works consistently. This leaves you feeling alone, frustrated, conflicted, and desperate. Sleepless nights are filled with thoughts that your relationship might end if things don’t change now.

As I like to tell my clients, anyone at any stage of their lives can benefit from therapy. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, depression, or life stress, etc. Therapy helps by having someone to talk with, process the stress, and formulate a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs. Therapy works best as a collaborative process between the therapist and client, working together to achieve a positive and supportive workplace where mental and emotional health can thrive.

Being “triggered” can look like irritability, disorganized thinking, distracted, being closed off, moody or sad. Does this sound familiar, but somehow you talk yourself out of getting the help you actually need? It’s hard to prioritize your own health especially when you are so used to putting everyones' needs ahead of yours. By the time you have reached this point, you are in pain and beating yourself up for where you are, stuck in a cycle that leaves you depleted and deeply unhappy or unfulfilled.

To understand the motivation between our thoughts and feelings, one must embrace the shadow beneath the light that we want to be shown. My ideal client wants to know themselves better than anyone else and is willing to work toward acceptance of themselves and others. They might have faced hardships that are rooted in issues of self esteem and self worth, or have faced external pressures that have taken a toll such as with maltreatment and abuse.

I believe people have the wisdom to heal themselves, but sometimes we need guidance to discover or effectively apply it. My goal is to help you build the skills and the courage to listen to your own voice and live the life you desire. Throughout the course of treatment, patients have many opportunities to practice actively focusing on positive change and living in the present; as well as develop healthier relationships with the past and future. I combine in-session work with creative, practical take-away exercises; encouraging patients to develop and apply the means to deal with future hardships long after treatment ends.

I view therapy as a place for one to be honest with oneself so that they can lead a life that is fulfilling, meaningful, and according to their values. Psychotherapy is a collaborative endeavor that aids individuals in increasing their emotional and cognitive understanding of themselves and gives them a place to come to terms with their losses and be ready to create their own narrative that will give them a better sense of self and purpose.

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.
