What is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a contemporary, research-supported type of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts and feelings instead of struggling against or feeling guilty about them.

ACT combines acceptance and commitment and behavior change strategies to increase psychological flexibility. This means learning to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with inner emotions and, instead, accepting that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that cannot be avoided or controlled. From this acceptance, individuals can commit to moving forward in a direction consistent with their values and goals, cultivating a rich and meaningful life.

The Benefits of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy

ACT offers a wide array of benefits for individuals looking to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease and purpose:

Practical Stress Management

Through acceptance strategies and mindfulness, ACT provides valuable tools for managing stress and anxiety.

Improved Relationship Quality

By promoting emotional openness and presence, ACT can significantly improve the quality of personal relationships.

Enhanced Life Satisfaction

ACT encourages living in accordance with personal values, improving life satisfaction and a more profound sense of fulfillment.

Reduced Avoidance Behaviors

ACT helps individuals confront and accept their fears, reducing avoidance behaviors and increasing engagement with life.

MHM was an amazing experience for me! All the case managers and therapist helped me in ways unimaginable. Would come here again if they didn’t help me though everything already.

MHM, saved my life and that isn’t hyperbole. I came across them very dark time in my life. I searched and researched other places in the Bay Area including a spot I was referred to by my doctor but for one reason or another it either wasn’t a good fit or wasn’t going to work out. What sold me on MHM was the statement from the initial intake person (Kyle) on the phone that these people genuinely care and it’s true. Between his patience and his honest declaration, I decided to take the next step and t am so glad I did. The people at MHM have become like family but in a healthy non-toxic way. They show up for you and in encourage you even in times when you feel like you can’t do that for yourself. I feel very lucky to work directly with Veronica and Frank, who both go above and beyond. They are the captains of my personal team as it truly is team cheering you towards success. If you need extra help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. In an era where people are more desensitized and self absorbed, these are genuine people who truly care about your wellbeing. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

I'm so grateful for AFRS and Mental Health! I chose to come here for aftercare treatment after doing in treatment rehab. The team is all wonderful, from the therapists to case management. I am super grateful to Mariela and Veronica, my support team. They are so knowledgeable and have taught me so much, including great life coping skills to help keep me on track with my goals. I continue to grow and learn from them all. The whole team is truly supportive and really cares. Thank you all.
