ACT/CBS Background and Training: I began integrating ACT into my clinical work as a primary type of theory and intervention more than eight years ago, including during pre-doctoral internship when I was primarily supervised by a licensed psychologist who identified his primary theoretical orientation to be ACT. Under his supervision, I gained experience treating both individuals and providing group intervention using ACT. During my post-doctoral residency, I regularly used ACT with psychology-oncology and chronic pain populations in James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa, Florida.
Additional background and involvement with ACT includes attendance at an ACT workshop at the Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference, completion of ACT Level 1 training, regular ACT consultation with colleagues and peers, and serving on the Southern California Chapter of ACBS (Member-At-Large, Diversity and Equity Inclusion Focus), including leading the SoCal Chapter ACBS book club.
