Finally understand ACT, and start changing your life (and your client's life) today!
Like many of you, I knew applying ACT to my clinical practice was going to help clients achieve incredible outcomes...Outcomes that were not possible with the traditional behavior change methods,
I spent hours reading books, articles, and watching CEUs, desperately trying to understand how to apply ACT to my practice....but something was missing. And then it clicked. ACT isn't something only to be learned, it's something that must be experienced, integrated...lived.
Once I dove head first, applying ACT to my own life and watching my life transform before my eyes, everything started to make sense.
And I want to help you do the same.
I spent years seeking ways to engage with my clients on a deeper level. To understand the root of the challenges and take them one step further. I couldn't do it until I took those steps myself...

I am the owner and founder of Balanced Behavior Consulting, an ABA and ACT based private therapy practice located in Scottsdale, Arizona. I bring over 10 years of experience working with individuals of all ages and abilities with a deep passion for using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) to help both practictioners and clients navigate life's challenges and build lives aligned with their core values.
After discovering ACT in the midst of 2020, I began integrating it's principles into my own life and professional practice. I quickly saw the changes, not only in myself, but in my clients, were profound. This transformation inspired me to dedicate the following years to studying ACT deeply and evolving my practice to reach and support more individuals through this powerful framework.

Hi, i'm Allie!
Alexandra Newell, Allie, MS BCBA
In 2023, ACT-U was created out of the belief that in order for practicioners to meaningfully apply ACT with their clients, the work must begin with themselves. When clincians embody ACT principles personally, they are better equipped to recognize where their clients (and even staff) are stuck, fused, or disconnected from their values.
To date, ACT-U has served over 100 participants, including BCBAs, RBTs, executives and professionals across various fields - supporting them in better understanding their internal expereinces, emotional responses, and the impact these have on their daily life. I am passionate about disseminating ACT within the field of ABA and am excited to continue supporting practictioners in their personal growth and professional impact.
