Have you been introduced to Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and are ready to take your skills and case conceptualization to the next level?

Would you like support in seeing and practicing how ACT may be used with the help of a master ACT facilitator? This training is appropriate for therapists who have read introductory texts, intermediate practitioners, and ACT therapists with years of experience. No matter where you are in your ACT journey, this training will enhance not only your practice, but your life.

In this highly experiential and interactive workshop, mental health professionals will develop deeper knowledge of psychological flexibility both in their own lives and in the lives of their clients

You will learn what it’s like to directly intervene with clients in a way that powerfully and experientially builds vital meaning in their lives. This training will utilize lectures, clinical vignettes, clinical demonstrations, mindfulness exercises, experiential exercises, large-group discussions, small-group discussions, and small-group skills practice. Dr. Coyne will help you move from concept and theory to practical application and lasting change for your clients.

Iberostar Punta Cana All-Inclusive Resort

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

Why is it that everyone dreams about a Caribbean vacation? Maybe it has to do with its perpetual summer, never-ending beaches, fusion gastronomy, and welcoming people. Or maybe it’s because they want to scuba dive and discover and care for the beauty of the ocean!

Breathe in the sea air on Bávaro Beach and take in the tropical gardens that surround you. Tee off at the 18-hole P.B. Dye golf course—a regional gem—while the kids play the day away with the endless array of Star Camp activities. At Iberostar Punta Cana, you may have to pinch yourself just to believe that it’s real.

Iberostar’s Aliveness program invites you to be good to yourself. Visit SPA Sensations and the fitness center and enjoy the wide variety of healthy dishes that our 6 themed restaurants have to offer. Check out the diving center and, of course, our coral lab, a true Noah’s ark that’s one-of-a-kind in the world and that helps us to protect them.
