Mentally Flexible is hosted by Tom Parkes LCSW. Tom is a clinician with Third Wave Psychotherapy PLLC, practicing in Avon, Connecticut.
Tom is passionate about the process-based clinical approach, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in his work with clients. He also loves running trainings for other mental health professionals to support the integration of ACT into their clinical practices.
Mentally Flexible is a place for meaningful conversation with authors, researchers, and mental health professionals on a range of topics. Many episodes focus on ACT while others are more broadly related to living a rich and full life.
Outside of therapy room and podcast studio, Tom is also a musician. The music you hear during the intro and outro of each episode is one of Tom's songs called, "Glimpse at Truth."
One of my favorite podcasts for sure. Each episode provides such powerful insights that you can apply to your own life. Tom is such a great host and listener too. Such a very calm and insightful voice. Very refreshing and awesome podcast!

Dr. Z has figured out a way to speak about ACT in such a relatable way. Her passion for her work is evident and it was special to hear her personal story with anxiety. Thanks for the interview!
