Embrace Your Emotions & Thoughts, Live with Purpose and Presence

While life’s challenges often leave us tangled in stress, self-judgment, or avoidance, find a way out through our Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Our ACT offers a compassionate path forward to help you learn to accept your inner experiences while committing to meaningful actions. At ATL Behavioral, we guide you toward clarity, resilience, and a life aligned with your values.

Who Do We Help?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aims to support individuals who feel overwhelmed by their emotional weight or stay disconnected from what once brought meaning.

We work with people navigating:

  • Persistent anxiety, grief, or emotional distress
  • Ongoing stress, burnout, or patterns of self-judgment
  • Navigating through major life transitions, such as retirement, caregiving, or loss
  • Health-related struggles, including chronic illness or aging challenges
  • Feeling a sense of feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of personal direction


At ATL Behavioral, we support adults at all stages of life with a deep emphasis on older adults, Medicare beneficiaries, and those in long-term care. If you’re seeking more than a quick fix and want meaningful, lasting change, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is the path forward.
