FAQs

General Information

  • Is the Within Reach workshop the same as being in individual or group therapy?
    • Within Reach offers a focused, practical, and evidence-based approach to creating meaningful change in your life through Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Our interactive workshops and self-paced online course are designed to equip participants with valuable mental health skills in a cost-effective and time-efficient manner. While these workshops provide essential tools for mental health, they are not a substitute for individual or group therapy, which offers additional processing and support. Understanding the challenges of finding time and resources for mental health care, we’ve developed this program to ensure useful tools are always within reach.
  • What is the format?
    • We offer our foundations course in two formats: a live online workshop that meets for 6 1 hour sessions weekly and a self-paced online workshop. Each session introduces a new topic, includes exercises that help you connect the material to your own experiences, and provides actionable strategies for applying the concepts to your life between sessions. You can see what our most current offerings are HERE.
    • In the first session, you’ll create a personalized roadmap that outlines your vision for the life you want to build, as well as the obstacles that may be standing in your way. This roadmap will serve as a guiding framework throughout the workshops, helping you apply the tools and techniques we introduce in each session to your unique journey.
    • The online course is entirely self-paced, allowing you to go through the material at your own speed. You’ll have access to video lessons, interactive exercises, and downloadable resources to help you apply what you learn to your daily life. Each lesson typically takes between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on how much time you spend on the exercises. To sign up for our online course, click here.
  • Do I need to have a clinical diagnosis or experience with therapy to benefit from a Within Reach Workshops?
    • ACT has been proven effective across a wide range of clinical diagnoses, as well as for managing general life stress and improving areas like leadership and workplace safety. We apply this same evidence-based framework and skillset with our individual therapy clients. These workshops were created to bring these powerful tools to a broader audience. While the workshops are psychoeducational in nature, they are not intended to replace psychotherapy.
    • No prior experience with therapy is required! The course is designed for everyone, whether you’re new to mental health concepts or looking to deepen your understanding. All materials are beginner-friendly and progressively build on each other.
