Mental Health Therapy using ACT
What is Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)?
I have over 10 years of extensive training and experience with Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT). I have found it to be the best long-term solution for anxiety and depression.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) has proven to be effective with a wide range of mental health problems including stress & depression, panic attacks, phobias, low self esteem & confidence, and insomnia, just to name a few.
Using ACT, I will help you create mindfulness skills to unravel unhelpful thinking patterns that block you from your greatest potential. I will help you explore and clarify what’s most important to you so that you can have a compass to guide you whenever you are lost or stuck.
How do I know if I need therapy?
If you’ve been struggling with the same problems for years, then psychotherapy can help you find some answers.
Trying to understand why you feel certain things or act certain ways is much more productive with the support of a mental health professional.
Chloe Demisch, LCSW has over a decade of clinical experience to help unravel your psychological blocks.
When your symptoms are getting worse or getting in the way of living your life, then it may be time to seek professional help.
Perhaps you’ve tried to heal using books, online advice, friends, or social media. In therapy with me, you get custom-tailored care just for you.
“By clarifying your values and developing mindfulness, ACT helps you escape the happiness trap and find true satisfaction in life.”
Confidential & Safe
It’s just you and me.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in the San Francisco Bay Area with over 15 years of professional experience in mental health. In my practice, your confidentiality and privacy is my priority.
Supportive environment
The power of validation.
Too often our feelings and experiences are invalidated by society, our family and friends. The cornerstone of our therapy together will be to help you feel heard and understood in an atmosphere of legitimization and respect. Together, we can find insight and direction.
Relatable and transparent
Working with young professionals
Finding your path can be a little scary sometimes. Full of uncertainty. Lack of answers. The unknown. If you are tired of the “what-if”, then together we can only go forward and upward.
Dating & Relationships
How to improve your relationships
Relationships are exciting and rewarding, but they can also be challenging.
Dating and finding a partner can feel impossible.
In our work together, we will remove blocks to your confidence and vulnerability.
Therapy with me will improve your communication skills and boundaries.
Anxiety
Anxiety is tough. It is an uncomfortable feeling. But the good news is that anxiety is completely normal. Life is like the ocean, full of ups and downs. Let’s learn to ride the waves.
Anxiety manifests itself differently. Symptoms can include sleeplessness, phobias, physical tension, and even panic attacks. In our sessions, I’ll teach you how to deal with these feelings of uncertainty and the unknown.
Depression, Loss & Grief
How does depression affect your everyday life?
You don’t feel like yourself and you don’t know why.
There is a sense of emptiness in your gut and you don’t know how it got there. Or maybe you do and need to talk it out.
Maybe you look happy on the outside. But you don’t quite feel that way on the inside.
Book today and find out how we can turn things around for the better.
Job stress & problems at work
Maybe you’re thinking about a career change, or you need help finding purpose in your work. Your job might be causing you a lot of stress. Perhaps you’re struggling with imposter syndrome, or a difficult manager.
Psychotherapy with Chloe Demisch, LCSW can help you learn important conflict resolution and communication skills to use with coworkers or managers. Get counseling to clarify your values and explore career paths. Cope with anxiety caused by work or burnout.
Beginning a new chapter
You’re ready to make a change.
Being here is your first step. Your path to a new you.
It’s scary, isn’t it? New beginnings. New life stages.
Transitions.
My goal is to help you transition from one chapter, to the next.
Our time here on earth is limited. Let’s get working to make every minute count.
