Dr Barbara Lavi, ACT Now Psychotherapy

Using ACT Now Psychotherapy techniques designed by Dr. Lavi, clients are Actively involved in the Creative process. Time-sensitive therapy is as brief as possible, but the therapeutic relationship lasts for a lifetime. Depending on the issues addressed, some clients may be in therapy for a few months while others may come for a few years. After completing a segment of therapy, over the years, clients often return for a tune up or to consult about a new issue or life challenge. Each time a client returns, therapy tends to be briefer.
