Our Philosophy
The core philosophy of ACCT is one of calmness and mindfulness, recognizing that life involves times of quiet self-reflection, times of tribulation, times of celebration, times of loss, times of despair, and times of hope. Each person has within them, all the resources needed to grow, learn, and experience life to its fullness with the support of fellow human beings, their own inner wisdom, and a living spiritual awareness.
Our Mission
The mission of ACCT is to provide person centered care and support whether in the service of counseling, clinical supervision, or counselor training. The responsibility of the mentor is to support development of individual problem-solving, creativity, talent, and skills. Counseling and professional development done in this way will lead to insight and a renewed perspective of life both personally and professionally. At the core of living life to its fullest is a clear sense of one’s purpose, the ability to navigate the difficulties of life, and a conscious awareness of how to support self and others while remaining authentic, present, and grounded.
““…With compassion and support we have the opportunity to turn the stumbling blocks of life into stepping stones for growth and understanding. Counseling gives us the option of not doing it alone.” ”
Founder of ACCT Linda Harrison MS, LPCS, CCS, MAC
