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.
