Acceptance and Commitment Therapy
Struggling with anxiety,depression,overthinking, mood swings, identity crisis or low self-worth? Do painful memories, intrusive thoughts, or fear of judgment keep holding you back? ACT helps you break free from mental traps, letting you live a meaningful life without being controlled by your emotions or thoughts.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches you to accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them. It works on the principle that pain is part of life—but suffering lessens when we stop avoiding and start engaging with what really matters to us.
ACT helps you identify your core values and take action aligned with them—even when your mind says “you can’t.” Through mindfulness and cognitive defusion techniques, ACT helps you build psychological flexibility and create space between you and your distressing thoughts.
ACT is an evidence-based therapy used to treat personality disorders, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, addiction, and more. It’s effective for both adults and adolescents, and can be offered in individual or group sessions.
If you are looking for ACT therapy in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR, Gray Cells Matter is here for you. Our compassionate therapists are committed to guiding you toward acceptance, clarity, and purposeful action—so you can build a life driven by values, not fear.
Reach out to us today to book your session. You don’t have to be “fixed”—you just need to reconnect with what matters. Let us help you begin that journey.
TESTIMONIALS
Our Happy Clients
Diagnosing a mental illness like OCD is very difficult and Aparna ma'am was the one who did it for me. She was my second therapist who gave me clarity of my symptoms .She first of all comforted me with her friendly nature and I remember one incident in which she shared one experience of her life so that I can open up . The content of my OCD is very disturbing and it's very tough to tell someone ,even to my counselor .She suggested me to do ACT therapy along with Cognitive behavior therapy and it had a great impact on my condition. We even did some recordings to help me with my OC symptoms. I could stop blaming myself ... OCD is all about blaming and having guilt and anxiety for some obsession on which you don't have control . I'm glad to have a therapist like Aparna ma'am .

I have only taken one session and it’s usually supposed to an induction of sorts but it was incredibly helpful. Talking to someone who gave knowledgeable advice of what to do to solve my issues calmed me down greatly. I plan to take regular sessions from the doctor. She was very patient and seemed to know what she was doing, which helped centre me better. All in all, I would recommend people to not let their issues fester and seek help if they feel they need it. Would recommend her without a doubt.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a scientifically backed therapeutic approach that helps individuals accept difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences instead of struggling to change or suppress them. The goal isn't to "get rid of" pain but to change your relationship with it. In ACT, you'll learn to be more present, defuse from negative thoughts, and focus on actions that are aligned with your values. This shift helps reduce emotional distress and increases your ability to respond to life’s challenges more effectively. At Gray Cells Matter, our therapists use ACT techniques to help you live a life that feels meaningful—even when things are tough.

It also emphasizes values clarification—helping you identify what truly matters to you—and then walking on the valued path with committed actions.
