Deepening Your ACT Practice: Experiential Practice and Case Conceptualization in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

This 8-week structured consultation group is intended to help therapists deepen their of ACT with clients, while getting support and guidance. The course focuses on developing two essential skills: case conceptualization and maintaining an experiential learning focus. Case conceptualization provides the roadmap for the therapy process, helps to establish meaningful therapy goals aligned with ACT's core processes, and facilitates consistent, empathic, and flexible therapeutic interactions. Experiential learning makes the therapy more practical, personal, and effective. It's about learning by doing, which helps clients understand and apply ACT's principles in a deeper and more meaningful way.

This is not a passive workshop where you sit back and observe, but instead a chance to practice new ACT skills and get feedback as you apply ACT theory. There will be videos, readings, and practice exercises between each session to generalize learning. Expect you'll need about two hours of time between each session for homework and practice.

Sessions will be led by peer-reviewed ACT trainers Jason Luoma and Jenna LeJeune. We will cap attendance at 20 participants to keep the level of personal interaction relatively high. We will also have other experienced facilitators attend some of the sessions to help facilitate small group interactions to allow even more individual attention.
