This article presents acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as a spiritually integrated therapeutic modality. ACT is a value-driven therapy that involves facilitating transcendence of physical, mental, and emotional experience to alleviate human suffering; as such, ACT shares common ground with the domain of spirituality. Approached as a spiritually integrated therapy, ACT can help clients to access spiritual resources and create life meaning as well as aid in the resolution or transformation of spiritual struggles. Given that spiritual struggles, in particular, can have a significant impact on mental health and well-being, this article provides guidance in how ACT can address such struggles.
