Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or addiction, ACT offers a path to psychological flexibility and lasting recovery.
Our compassionate team at Restoration Recovery Center integrates ACT into personalized treatment plans, combining clinical expertise with a deep understanding of your unique needs. With a focus on mindfulness, acceptance, and value-driven action, ACT equips you with practical tools to navigate life’s challenges and build a brighter future.
What Is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern, evidence-based form of psychotherapy rooted in behavioral and cognitive principles. Unlike traditional therapies that focus on eliminating negative thoughts or emotions, ACT emphasizes accepting these experiences as a natural part of life. By fostering mindfulness and psychological flexibility, ACT helps individuals respond to challenges in healthier, more adaptive ways.
ACT is built on six core principles:
Cognitive Defusion: Learning to observe thoughts without being controlled by them.
Acceptance: Embracing emotions and experiences without resistance.
Present-Moment Awareness: Practicing mindfulness to stay grounded in the here and now.
Self-as-Context: Understanding yourself beyond your thoughts and feelings.
Values: Identifying what matters most to you and aligning your actions with those values.
Committed Action: Taking meaningful steps toward your goals, even in the face of obstacles.
At Restoration Recovery Center, our licensed therapists guide you through these principles, helping you develop skills to manage mental health challenges and live a life that reflects your deepest aspirations.
How Does ACT Work?
ACT is a dynamic, action-oriented therapy that combines mindfulness practices with behavioral strategies. During sessions, you’ll work with a trained therapist to:
Explore Your Values: Identify what gives your life meaning, such as relationships, personal growth, or career aspirations.
Practice Mindfulness: Learn techniques to stay present and reduce the impact of negative thoughts.
Develop Acceptance: Embrace difficult emotions without letting them dictate your actions.
Set Goals: Create actionable steps to align your daily life with your values.
Our therapists at Restoration Recovery Center use a collaborative approach, tailoring each session to your unique needs. Whether you’re addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use, ACT provides a flexible framework to help you move forward with confidence and clarity.
