ACT in Action!

At InnerQuest, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is one of the foundational tools we use to help youth move beyond survival and toward purpose-driven lives. It’s about creating space for hard emotions, aligning actions with values, and learning how to move forward—even when things feel uncertain.

But psychological flexibility doesn’t happen in a vacuum. For adolescents and young adults who’ve lived through chronic stress, trauma, or system involvement, even accessing the present moment can feel out of reach.

That’s where Mind Reneural’s Neurofeedback comes in—not as the focus, but as a powerful support to the ACT process.

Regulate First

ACT teaches youth how to:

  • Accept what they feel without being ruled by it

  • Defuse from harsh self-stories

  • Identify what matters to them

  • Take action toward a meaningful life

But when the nervous system is dysregulated—stuck in fight, flight, or freeze—those tools can be hard to reach.

Neurofeedback helps bring the brain into a more regulated state so that ACT’s practices of mindfulness, defusion, and values-based action become more accessible, embodied, and lasting.

Profile Breakdown

  • Neurofeedback trains the brain to stay present → ACT uses that presence to build psychological flexibility.

  • Neurofeedback reduces emotional reactivity → ACT teaches what to do with difficult emotions once they arise.

  • Neurofeedback supports neural balance → ACT builds mental habits that support long-term growth.

We’re not just helping youth feel better—we’re helping them live better, with tools that stick because they’re practiced in a regulated, supported state.
