Treating Anxiety, Depression, and Compulsive Behaviors with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

October 8, 2016, from 9:30 a.m. to 12 Noon

First Congregational Church
710 Auburn Ravine Road
Auburn, CA 95603

From I 80, take Highway 49 N and turn right onto Palm Avenue. If coming south on Highway 49, turn left onto Palm Avenue. Continue on Palm Avenue to the stop sign. Turn left onto Auburn Ravine Road and continue to the stop sign. Turn right at the stop sign even though it says Church Street. Go straight up the never-ending hill into the church parking lot. The meeting is in Pilgrim Hall and there will be a sign with the CAMFT logo and Sierra Foothills Chapter on the door.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an exciting new evidenced-based approach to working with common issues such as anxiety, depression, and compulsive behaviors. The approach focuses on helping people establish a more peaceful relationship with troubling aspects of their life rather than trying to get rid of those aspects altogether.

Following the presentation, participants will be able to:

  1. Explain the fundamental principles underlying ACT.
  2. Identify clients for whom ACT may be a good fit
  3. Utilize two ACT interventions in the treatment of anxiety, depression, or compulsive behaviors.

Dr. Davis is a professor of Marriage and Family Therapy at Alliant International University. His Ph.D. is in marriage and family therapy from Virginia Tech. He is an LMFT and the owner of The Davis Group, an agency in Roseville, CA. He has authored several popular textbooks, including the field's most popular theory textbook, Family Therapy Concepts and Methods (11th edition) and Common Factors of Couple and Family Therapy: The Overlooked Foundation of Effective Practice, the field's only textbook on common factors. He serves on the editorial board of The Journal of Marital and Family Therapy.

Michelle Hutchings and Natalie Sherrell are graduates of Alliant's MFT program and employees at The Davis Group.
