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.

Sarah Easton
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You are about to begin an important journey to explore your struggles, connection with yourself and others, and how you can live in deeper alignment with your values. You might be challenged by your intimate relationships, you may be dealing with a chronic illness, the loss of a loved one, feeling overwhelmed or stagnant. You might want to cultivate a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life. I believe that traditional talk therapy can be powerful alone, but integrating mindfulness of the body can more adequately address experiences in the present moment and help transform deeply ingrained beliefs or patterns. I will encourage you to move beneath words and life stories, so experiences can be felt and understood, allowing your innate wisdom to support change. I will also integrate behavioral therapies to help you cultivate the necessary skills for building a sense of emotional resilience and nurturing healthy relationships. You don't have to be alone on your journey. Therapy is a courageous act, a gesture of willingness to turn towards your inner world. Together, we will create a safe and supportive space for reflection and change on your path towards healing, growth, and reclaiming of your life.
