ACT therapy is a tool designed for us to not simply challenge our thoughts and feelings when we feel distressed but learning to accept them. Learning to be okay in the uncomfortable feeling and slowly accepting them.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment used to identify and challenge our dysfunctional ways of thinking. CBT is a tool used to find negative and distorted thought patterns that leave us feeling stuck and find helpful ways of thinking. We work both as an investigator and defense lawyer looking for clues to support our thoughts and beliefs and build a case to either support or refute.

Mindfulness-based therapy grants us the ability to pause and reflect by asking ourselves is this something "helpful to me or not." In learning to recognize, we have the choice to either make an empowering or disempowering choice. It's a tool designed to aimed to make you more accountable and in control of your choice.

Anxiety leaves us feeling scared and debilitated. You feel like you're drowning and there is no way out. However, we all know, especially those who have experienced anxiety.

Depression is like a weighted blanket that covers you and pulls you down. You have no energy nor drive. In fact, there seems to be no purpose or reason. Sometimes depression can be circumstantial. Other times, there is no rhyme or reason. However, it's realizing that we are more than this disorder. We have a choice to make a meaningful choice in spite of depression.
