Acceptance and Commitment Therapy therapists in Kinston, North Carolina NC
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
We often seek therapy because we are hurting and unhappy in our relationships with others and ourselves. Anxiety, sadness, restlessness, and loneliness are often the clues that we feel off-track. Whether you are new to it, or have been in it before, therapy presents the opportunity to invite a professional fellow human into your journey of meaningful living.
I provide evidence-based treatment for anxiety, relational, and trauma-related concerns for neurotypical and neurodivergent adults. I also work with individuals seeking to explore and understand their experiences of gender and sexuality. Our work begins with clarifying the nature of and sources of your concerns, setting a path forward, and working together to help you implement and maintain the changes you seek.

Dr. Megan Kloep
Psychologist, Ph.D, Clinical Psychologist
I have been a clinical psychologist for my entire professional career. I began seeing patients beginning in 2010, and have continued to do so with dedication and passion ever since. I was drawn to this profession because I desire to help others. I chose to pursue my doctorate because I wanted to research and be trained in the most effective ways to accomplish this. Being trained in a number of evidence-based interventions, I work to utilize the approach that is the right fit for YOU as an individual; I aim to provide evidence-based skills and tools to help you to feel empowered to manage your symptoms in the context of a caring and supportive therapeutic space.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Luke R. Allen
Psychologist, PhD
I operate from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach. A core idea in ACT is that trying too hard to get rid of or control our emotions tends to backfire. Instead of trying to get rid of unwanted thoughts and feelings, I want to help you learn to respond differently to the unwanted thoughts and feelings so that you can keep your focus on living a fulfilling life based on what’s important to you. We will work together to set meaningful goals to address your concerns–whether they relate to life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, grief/loss, job or academic stress, or gender and sexuality.

Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
I specialize in working with clients who want to understand themselves better. Do you think you have ADHD? Were you diagnosed with ADHD as a child but have never really understood what that meant for you? Do fears about your health or performance disrupt your life? Do you feel that your brain never wants to quiet down?
These are many of the topics I cover with my clients. Together, we'll work to understand your worries, your executive functioning skills, and create new, effective coping skills.
