ACT/CBS Background and Training: I began my training as a contextual and behavioral therapist in 2018, focusing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) during my graduate studies. Since then, I have continued to pursue advanced training in ACT, particularly in its application to trauma and mood disorders. I subsequently expanded my training to include functional analysis and Relational Frame Theory (RFT). My background in contextual and behavioral approaches aligned naturally with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), leading me to become a DBT trainee in 2019. I later advanced to the role of DBT clinical therapist, and in 2024, I was promoted to clinical supervisor in the DBT program at Ponce Health Sciences University.
My ACT training has been shaped by numerous workshops and courses, with a primary focus on programs offered through Psychwire.
