Join us for a transformative one-day training on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—a powerful, evidence-based approach to treating anxiety and related disorders. This workshop is tailored for counselors, therapists, and mental health professionals who want to equip clients with practical tools to navigate anxiety while living more meaningful, values-driven lives.
Through a blend of didactic instruction, real-world case examples, and experiential exercises, this training will help attendees integrate the six core processes of ACT into their clinical work. Learn how to shift clients away from avoidance and control strategies and toward psychological flexibility—the key to long-term recovery from anxiety.

Explain the six core processes of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and their relevance to the treatment of anxiety.

Addictions always originate in pain… The question is never ‘why the addiction?,’ but rather ‘why the pain?’” (Dr. Gabor Maté). Counselors can help those struggling with addictions address underlying painful issues and then break the addictive patterns.
Behavioral issues at home or in school often have an underlying cause, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, or other mental health conditions. The experienced staff at Cord of 3 meets each child with love, builds trust, and applies effective treatment that approaches the root cause of the behavior.
Every person will at some point have at least one potentially traumatic experience, but this doesn’t impact everyone in the same ways. When struggling to process and move on from negative life experiences, therapy offers a powerful method of finding support and healing.
Individual counseling can help overcome the sometimes overwhelming fear and hopelessness by helping you better understand the conditions that led to the emotional brokenness you are experiencing, and applying healthy coping skills against them.
