Individual Therapy for Children
At Wellness in ACTions, our individual therapy for children is designed to provide a safe, nurturing space where young minds can explore their emotions, develop coping skills, and build resilience. We use child-centered, evidence-based approaches tailored to each child's unique needs, helping them navigate challenges like anxiety, behavioral issues, and emotional regulation. Through play, creative expression, and age-appropriate interventions, we empower children to express themselves, gain confidence, and thrive both at home and in their social environments.
Family Therapy
Our family therapy services focus on strengthening the bonds within your family, promoting understanding, and resolving conflicts in a supportive, collaborative environment. We work with all family members to improve communication, address underlying issues, and develop healthier interaction patterns. Whether you’re dealing with parenting challenges, family stress, or life transitions, our goal is to help your family function more harmoniously, with each member feeling heard, respected, and valued. Together, we’ll create strategies that foster lasting positive change for your entire family.
Acceptance & Committment Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a modern approach to therapy that helps people handle difficult thoughts and emotions in a healthier way while making choices that align with what truly matters to them.
At its core, ACT is about accepting what we can’t control and committing to actions that improve our lives. Instead of fighting against negative thoughts or feelings, ACT teaches us to make room for them without letting them take over. For example, if you’re feeling anxious about a big presentation, instead of trying to suppress the anxiety, ACT might guide you to acknowledge it—“I’m feeling nervous, and that’s okay”—and then focus on taking steps that align with your goal of doing well.
One of the key principles of ACT is mindfulness, which is about staying present in the moment without getting caught up in our thoughts. Imagine you’re stuck in traffic and feeling frustrated. Rather than spiraling into negative thoughts, mindfulness encourages you to notice the frustration, breathe, and refocus on what’s happening right now.
Another principle is values-based living, which means identifying what’s truly important to you and letting those values guide your actions. For instance, if being a caring friend is a core value, ACT would help you act on that value even when life gets tough—like making time for a friend in need, even if you’re feeling stressed yourself.
ACT is a flexible, practical approach that helps people live richer, more meaningful lives by embracing their experiences and taking action towards their values, even in the face of challenges.
