Additional Information: I was fortunate enough to be introduced to ACT the year that I lived in Oregon (2015). I had been trained in CBT and instantly gravitated towards ACT when my supervisor introduced me to it. I started by reading ACT Made Simple and was "hooked." I attended an introductory training in Portland, OR. Now that I am a licensed therapist, I continue to participate in ACT workshops and trainings.
