What People Say About Our Courses

Dr. Steven Hayes

Russ Harris is brilliant in his ability to sniff out needless complexity and present complex clinical ideas in an accessible way. He has brought his clinical creativity to new methods and new ways of getting to the heart of these issues with clients. That is a great combination and a significant contribution

Dr. Kirk D. Strosahl

Russ Harris is the consummate ACT clinician and a dynamite trainer. He makes ACT concepts easy to understand and implement in real time clinical practice. He has a real passion for ACT work and his training methods are absolutely first rate. I would highly recommend his training system to anyone who really wants to learn the ins and outs of ACT!

Ian Guyah-LowPsychologist - Toddington, United Kingdom

It is broken down really well to understand each element in easily manageable chunks so you can really see how the model comes together and how to apply it in your day to day practice. This is a skill Russ has to really make things laser-focused in an easily digestible way.

Chantelle KoopProvisional Psychologist - Swift Current, SK, Canada

It is incredibly well laid out. I have taken many online classes and this setup has exceeded my expectations. The short video clips have allowed me to make progress even if it is just 15 mins, so I can fit it into a busy schedule. I really love the content.

Rúnar Helgi AndrasonPsychologist - Kópavogur, Iceland

Great material that is well organized. Makes me a better ACT therapist. I love to be able to go back and forth. If I see something that I would like to practice, I can review it over and over, even just before a real client session.

Matt TaylorPsychologist - New Orleans, LA, USA

This course has helped me to make practical, effective changes in my practice and made me a better clinician. It's exactly what I was looking for. I enjoy getting to watch the sessions to see the different interventions used in a primary care setting.
