Are you feeling stuck in painful thoughts, emotions, or patterns? Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) can help you move forward by changing your relationship with those experiences—rather than trying to erase or control them. At Summit Counseling Center, our licensed therapists are trained in ACT to support you in building a more fulfilling, values-based life.
