What Our Community Is Saying!

“This is probably the best training I have been to. I learned a lot and only would want more of it.”

— Workshop Attendee, ACT Practice Lab with Andy Santanello

“Dr. Rhodes is the colleague I turn to first when I am faced with a difficult case. She has a thorough understanding of ACT and the underlying theories and principles, as well as the creative interventions that make ACT so exciting! She is someone who has the warmth and patience that is necessary for teaching/consulting, making you see as though your perspective and questions are valid and welcome.”
