We are a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, coaches, and researchers who developed Achieving Change Through Value-Based Behavior, a therapeutic approach grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Our work supports community agencies, violence prevention programs, and mandated treatment settings in responding effectively to intimate partner violence.

We are united by a commitment to accountability, compassion, and meaningful behavior change. Guided by ACT principles, we believe lasting change occurs when individuals learn to take responsibility for their actions, respond more flexibly to difficult thoughts and emotions, and make choices aligned with values such as safety, respect, and nonviolence.

Our goal is to disrupt the cycle of interpersonal violence by improving outcomes for victims, promoting genuine change among those who have caused harm, and strengthening the families and communities affected by domestic abuse. Through collaboration, evidence-informed practice, and ongoing support, we strive to create safer relationships and sustainable pathways toward change.
