Virtual Therapy In Ontario, In Person Therapy in Hamilton, Oakville & London
At Vital Minds Psychotherapy, we are of the belief that change starts with acceptance. Life is susceptible to throwing some tough stuff at us that can feel overwhelming—stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT Therapy) provides a transformative way to move through these internal challenges by learning how to allow those thoughts and feelings, while continuing to live in accordance with their values.
As a part of our Oakville-based practice, we are committed to providing clients in ACT therapy with the compassion and skilled guidance that is necessary for one to forge resilience and Well-being.
ACT is an innovative mind–body based therapy that integrates mindfulness/mindful awareness processes with those that are focused on inflexible patterns of behavior. Unlike treatments that focus on getting rid of those negative thoughts, ACT therapy focuses on learning to accept them without judging yourself harshly.
The point is not to “erase” undesirable emotions, but to shift how we relate to them. Through fostering psychological flexibility, clients learn to live more ‘in the present moment’ and to take value-driven action.
Oakville is a healthy town, sure, but like every other place on earth, people are stressed from work and school and family issues and personal trials. At Vital Minds Psychotherapy, we offer a custom-designed ACT therapy that meets the needs of Oakville clients so therapy is relevant and at your reach.
Our therapists get it — the struggle to juggle professional and personal responsibilities. In my practice in Oakville, I offer ACT therapy where we can work together to create a supported environment with your values as the driver of change.

If you feel trapped in the worry-avoidance-self-criticism cycle, then ACT therapy may be what you’re looking for to help extricate yourself and move towards a life that matters.
At our Oakville clinic, ACT therapy is approached with a client-centered point of view. We believe therapy must be a practical, powerful partnership. Therapists collaborate with each person in their care to establish values, goals, and skills for use in the real world.
The sessions integrate mindfulness practices, experiential activities, and facilitated processing. When they leave, clients have tools they can use right away: to manage stress at work, to enhance communication, or to find some clarity in decision making.
