ACT/CBS Background and Training: My background in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) / Contextual Behavioral Science (CBS) is extensive and deeply rooted in both formal training and consistent practice. I have significantly deepened my ACT knowledge and skills through numerous workshops and trainings specifically focused on ACT, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of its core principles and applications. This learning has been further enriched by ongoing supervision with experienced ACT clinicians, allowing me to refine my practice and integrate feedback effectively. Furthermore, the continuous refinement of my clinical work, coupled with a dedicated personal practice of ACT principles, has solidified my understanding and embodiment of this approach.
In addition to my expertise in ACT, I also possess competencies in other evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). This diverse training allows me to draw upon a range of therapeutic techniques and tailor interventions to best suit the individual needs of my clients. I am also fully trained in Motivational Interviewing (MI), a valuable approach for fostering client engagement and motivation for change. My training in Exposure Therapy provides me with the skills to effectively help clients confront and overcome their fears. Furthermore, I hold a certification in Trauma-Informed Coaching, which enhances my ability to work sensitively and effectively with individuals who have experienced trauma.
I am highly experienced and possess expertise in key areas of ACT practice, including:
ACT Case Conceptualization: I am skilled at developing comprehensive case conceptualizations from an ACT perspective, identifying clients' core psychological inflexibility processes and understanding how they manifest in their lives.
Tailoring ACT Interventions: I am adept at adapting ACT interventions to meet the unique needs and characteristics of each individual client, recognizing that a personalized approach is essential for effective therapy.
Mindfulness-Based Interventions: I incorporate mindfulness-based interventions into my practice, such as guided meditations, body scans, and mindful movement exercises, to help clients cultivate present moment awareness and acceptance.
Working with Resistance: I have developed effective strategies for working with client resistance and ambivalence, utilizing ACT's principles of acceptance and compassion to navigate these challenges.
I regularly engage in continuing education activities to stay up-to-date with the latest research and best practices in ACT, ensuring that my approach is informed by the most current evidence. I have effectively utilized ACT to support individuals facing a variety of challenges, including those struggling to live out their dreams and discover their sense of purpose. Additionally, I have extensive experience using ACT to effectively support individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, helping them to cultivate psychological flexibility and build a life rich in meaning and value.
