High-functioning but secretly exhausted?

Youโ€™ve accomplished a lot, but still feel like an imposter?

You freeze when decisions matter most?

Anxiety hides behind perfectionism, overachievement, and endless self-criticism.

Itโ€™s not about fixing you - itโ€™s about giving you the skills to work with your anxiety and live with more purpose.

Letโ€™s move beyond surface solutions.

At East Bay Behavior Therapy Center, we use evidence-based skills, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you stop just surviving and start thriving.

Do you find yourself overanalyzing every decisionโ€ฆ yet still feeling uncertain and anxious?

You're not alone. Anxiety doesnโ€™t always show up as panic โ€” it can look like indecision, self-doubt, or constant pressure to "get it right."

At East Bay Behavior Therapy Center, we use evidence-based skills, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, to help you stop just surviving โ€” and start thriving.

In this episode, Dr. Z meets with John Davies, a UK therapist, where we dive deep into what makes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) so helpful for anxiety. John-Paul is a therapist in the UK who has started a YouTube channel focused on general therapy issues for the lay audience.

Living by Your Values - One of the most empowering processes of the ACT model is its focus on values-based living. Instead of letting anxiety dictate your choices, ACT invites you to ask:

~ What kind of person do I want to be?
~ What do I care about, deep down?
~ What small step can I take today thatโ€™s in line with my values?

Are you stuck in your head?

Our Acceptance & Commitment (ACT) Coaching is a unique blend of behavioral science and ACT, helping you move past anxiety, overthinking, and fear without pretending they donโ€™t exist.

We explore what matters to you, and gently shift your attention from unhelpful selfโ€‘judgment toward committed action aligned with your values.

This isnโ€™t traditional talk therapy. Itโ€™s active coaching โ€” online and available even outside California โ€” and is designed to equip you with lifelong skills to live life outside your head.

Ready to get unstuck?

ACTโ€‘based coaching is open to all ages and backgrounds.
