ACT is one of the most evidence-based, flexible approaches in therapy today.
Because ACT is more than a set of interventions …
… it’s a way of doing therapy that transforms how you work with clients – taking you beyond the “problems and symptoms” approaches that dominate many manualized treatment models.
From anxiety and depression to trauma and chronic pain, ACT is a compassionate, values-driven approach that helps clients build the life they want – not just reduce the symptoms they don’t.
It’s why tens of thousands of clinicians count on it every day … and it’s why you need it in your treatment toolbox.
Now in this 2-day workshop you’ll learn to use ACT from start to finish.
You’ll join Jacob Martinez, LPC, ACT trainer and a past board member of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science (ACBS). Jacob specializes in using ACT across a wide range of clinical presentations and has trained hundreds of clinicians to confidently integrate this approach into their work.
He’ll show you a clear, step-by-step path with detailed instruction, demonstrations, and practical real-world applications that show you exactly what to do.
No confusion. No overwhelm, Just practical training that prepares you to use ACT with your very next client.
You’ll leave ready to:
Whether you’re completely new to ACT, or have previous training, this program is sure to add value to your practice …
… maybe even change how you approach therapy altogether.
So don’t wait.
