Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT): A Path to Psychological Flexibility
At Denver Emotional Health, we integrate ACT with Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to create a powerful, evidence-based approach to healing. ACT helps people develop psychological flexibility through mindfulness, acceptance, and committed action toward their values.
Our Unique Integration of ACT and IFS
We combine ACT’s behavioral strategies with IFS’s compassionate, parts-based approach to address a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, OCD, and trauma. This integration is particularly effective for clients who haven’t found relief through traditional therapy methods.
The Science Behind Our Approach
Our therapy engages both the thinking and feeling parts of your brain. While traditional talk therapy primarily works with conscious thought processes, our approach also activates deeper brain networks involved in emotion, body awareness, and memory. This comprehensive engagement allows for more complete healing, especially for trauma and anxiety-related conditions.
Key elements of our approach include:
- Self-compassion based exposure techniques
- Mindfulness practices that enhance body awareness
- Skills for responding to difficult thoughts and emotions
- Integration of neuroscience-informed interventions
- Flexible strategies tailored to your unique needs
A Different Kind of Therapy
Rather than simply talking about problems, we teach practical skills for:
- Developing a new relationship with challenging thoughts and feelings
- Taking effective action aligned with your values
- Building psychological flexibility
- Creating lasting change through experiential learning
- Addressing both symptoms and their root causes
Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, or other challenges, our approach offers a path to deeper healing and transformation. We combine the structure and evidence base of ACT with the depth and compassion of IFS to help you create lasting change.
