ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY

At New Horizons Therapy NY, we offer Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you cultivate psychological flexibility and live a life that truly aligns with your values. ACT is a unique approach to therapy that emphasizes acceptance, mindfulness, and committed action.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, NY – Emotional therapy session.

What is ACT?

ACT is a mindfulness-based therapy that encourages you to:

  • Accept: Embrace your thoughts and feelings without judgment, even the uncomfortable ones.

  • Choose: Clarify what truly matters to you – your values and goals.

  • Take Action: Commit to taking steps that align with your values, even in the presence of difficult thoughts and emotions.

 

How ACT Works:

Instead of struggling to eliminate or control unwanted thoughts and feelings, ACT helps you develop a new relationship with them. You learn to observe your inner experiences without getting carried away by them, allowing you to make conscious choices that move you towards a fulfilling life.

 

ACT Can Help You:

  • Reduce anxiety and stress: Develop skills to manage anxiety and worry without letting them dictate your life.

  • Overcome depression: Break free from negative thought patterns and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

  • Cope with trauma: Process difficult experiences and move forward with greater peace and resilience.

  • Manage chronic pain: Reduce suffering and improve your quality of life by changing your relationship with pain.

  • Improve relationships: Communicate more effectively and build stronger connections with others.

  • Achieve your goals: Identify your values and take committed action towards what truly matters to you.
