Why This Approach Matters
The combination of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) with a Humanistic-Existential perspective creates a powerful and integrative approach that nurtures growth in a holistic way.
ACT empowers you to move beyond the limitations of negative thoughts and overwhelming emotions. It encourages you to embrace the full spectrum of your experience—both the joys and the difficulties—without being controlled by them. This flexibility is key to making choices that are aligned with your deepest values, rather than reacting automatically to fear or discomfort. It’s about developing a relationship with your thoughts and feelings that doesn’t interfere with your ability to live the life you want.
At the same time, the Humanistic-Existential foundation of our work together focuses on your individuality, freedom, and capacity for self-determination. This perspective recognizes that you have the inherent strength and wisdom to navigate life’s uncertainties, even when faced with questions of meaning and purpose. Therapy becomes a space to explore the bigger questions of your life, such as “What does a meaningful life look like for me?” or “How do I create a sense of belonging and authenticity in a world that can feel overwhelming?”
By integrating these approaches, therapy becomes more than a way to manage difficulties. It is an opportunity to uncover your potential for transformation and learn to live in a way that feels true to you, even in the face of challenges and uncertainty. This work empowers you to make choices that reflect who you are and what you want your life to stand for. It is about breaking free from limiting patterns and beliefs, building resilience, and creating a life filled with purpose, connection, and authenticity.
