Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for LGBTQ+ Folx - Zoom
Start Date: Not currently recruiting. Please check back again or reach out for individual ACT Training!
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or "ACT" is a mindfulness-based behavioral therapy that focuses on psychological flexibility and valued engagement in life. ACT in a nutshell can be summarized as be present, open up, and do what matters. The goal of ACT is not to eliminate certain parts of one's experience of life, but rather to learn how to experience life more fully, without as much struggle, and with vitality and commitment.
In this group, we will explore the core elements of ACT like defusion, acceptance and committed action, and walk through examples of how to apply the tools and techniques in our daily lives. Group participants will be assigned weekly homework.

What our clients say.
Aspire has been instrumental in helping my family. From the initial intake to further sessions, the team has been supportive, empathetic, and attentive to our family’s needs. The practice is flexible with finding appointment times that work for our challenging schedules. Dr. Scolaro, Paula, and Shunya provide excellent care in a non-judgmental fashion. I would highly recommend the practice without any reservations.
After suffering my whole life and then having what I’d constitute as a mental breakdown, I’m living generally an anxiety-free life without using medication.
I am now a much more balanced, mindful and calm person who feels empowered with an armada of useful strategies and techniques to manage and regulate stressful situations in my life.
Dr. Scolaro is an incredibly gifted therapist who has helped me learn and practice vital CBT skills that have changed my life.
