Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Fostering acceptance and meaningful action in children.
ACT is a mindfulness-based therapy that encourages children to accept their emotions and commit to positive behaviors. Our psychologists use ACT to help children build resilience and pursue what matters most to them.

- Acceptance of emotions and thoughts.
