Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that focuses on increasing psychological flexibility - the ability to contact the present moment and change or persist in valued behavior. ACT uses mindfulness, acceptance, diffusion, and values-based practices to help people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions aligned with their goals. The main aim is to clarify what matters to clients and build patterns of effective behavior tied to their values, allowing them to accept reactions and be psychologically present while moving their life in meaningful directions.

Functional Analytic Psychotherapy, FAP, is a form of therapy that emphasizes observing and addressing interpersonal behaviors within the therapeutic relationship.

At Adaptive Minds, genetic testing is used in cases where a patient has had a history of poor or unexpected responses to medication treatment in the past. Additionally, it can be helpful in narrowing the potential options when selecting an agent. It is important to keep in mind that the information provided by genetic testing is a tool that can be used in conjunction with careful clinical assessment and psychiatric/medical history.
Genetic testing is increasingly used in psychiatric medication management to identify metabolic rates, screen for adverse drug reaction risks, match medications to neurobiology, assess hereditary disposition, monitor response over time, and detect genetic resistance factors. This enables more precise, personalized psychopharmacology to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize adverse effects based on inherited traits.
