2025-05-01 08:00 - 2025-05-04 17:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Grand Hyatt Denver, 1750 Welton St, 80202, United States
Back by popular demand:

The most advanced training in Acceptance & Commitment Therapy.

Offered only a few times per year, and only live in-person, the ACT Bootcamp is a 4-day skills-based experiential learning that will fully prepare you to apply ACT in a variety of clinical settings.

The best part is that, as a process-based approach to therapy, it can stand on its own or provide a foundation that can be integrated with ANY approach you already use– whether you practice DBT, EMDR, CBT, or IFS….

….And it can provide a highly practical framework for exactly what to focus on in treatment regardless of what symptoms or diagnoses your clients may have – from anxiety and depression to complex PTSD and more.

This is your chance to work directly with the co-developer of ACT, Steven C. Hayes, one of the most cited psychologists in the world, along with three of the world’s leading ACT Trainers, Robin Walser, Diana Hill, and Miranda Morris.

This 4-day experience is designed to welcome new and advanced practitioners, guiding you in the practical application of ACT with a variety of clients and cases. You’ll see just how ACT and process-based approaches can fit into any therapy practice to help you master:

Exactly what change processes (not symptoms) to target in therapy

How to adapt the tools you already use, including CBT, DBT, IFS, and more, to create a new and flexible approach for every client

How to track your client’s progress on the things that matter most to them

This premier, live in-person training experience is not available anywhere online. It’s never been filmed and will not be available as an online course.

There is simply no better place to experience how to use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy from start to finish than ACT Bootcamp.

Due to the experiential nature of this training, we are limiting registration, and we fully expect this in-person only training to sell out. So REGISTER TODAY to take advantage of this rare and exclusive training experience.

Wise Effort: Integrating Therapist Wisdom and Processes of Change to Have BIG, Meaningful Impact on Our Clients' Lives
2025-12-17 13:30 - 14:30
I’m a speaker at the Evolution of Psychotherapy Conference

Session Description: Are you putting your energy where it has the most clinical impact? How can you apply your therapist wisdom, while also being evidence-based? The fact is every therapist, and every client, is different–and even though we have toolbelts overflowing with tools, we need wisdom, individualization, and wise effort to approach the person in front of you, not their diagnosis. In this engaging talk, you will be empowered by a new way of approaching mental wellness–Process Based Therapy– where you can flexibly show up with your personal skills, orientation, and strengths, and support the greatest change in each and every unique client you work with.
