2 Day Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Process in Clinical Practice

PLEASE NOTE: Although Eventbrite only shows Friday, April 17th, this is a two-day workshop (Friday, April 17-Saturday April 18) event. Registration is for both days. Single day tickets are not available.

Workshop Overview

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mindfulness-based approach that teaches patients to embrace difficult thoughts and emotions rather than struggling against them. By learning to observe thoughts without judgment and committing to value-driven actions, patients develop psychological flexibility to navigate life's challenges and create a more fulfilling, meaningful existence. In this training participants will have the opportunity to hone their therapeutic ACT skills with an expert trainer—Dr. Robyn Walser in a two day workshop. This is going to be an intermediate training, but beginners are welcome.

Schedule and Location

This two day workshop will run from 9:00-5:00 on Friday, April 17, 2026 and Saturday, April 18, 2026. It will take place on UNLV Campus in the Richard Tam Alumni Center. Free event-designated parking will be available.

Participants who attend the two-day workshop in full will receive a certificate for 12 CEUs.
