ACT Therapy (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy) in North York

ACT helps you develop psychological flexibility — the ability to stay present, accept difficult emotions, and take action aligned with your values. At Emerald Park Medical & Psychotherapy (North York), our therapists use ACT to help you break free from unhelpful mental loops and build a life with purpose and clarity.

What ACT Helps With:

  • Anxiety and chronic worry

  • Depression

  • Trauma & PTSD

  • Perfectionism

  • Stress and burnout

  • Chronic pain

  • Negative self-talk

How ACT Works

ACT uses six core processes:

  • Acceptance of difficult emotions

  • Cognitive defusion to change your relationship with thoughts

  • Mindfulness to stay grounded

  • Values clarification to understand what matters

  • Committed action toward life goals

This is not about trying to “fix” emotions — it’s about learning to live well with them.

What to Expect in ACT Sessions

  • Guided mindfulness practices

  • Exercises to reduce the power of painful thoughts

  • Identifying personal values (family, career, relationships)

  • Building small habits aligned with your goals

Sessions are warm, collaborative, and practical.
