The Phoenix ACT

Advocacy, Coaching, Therapy

The Phoenix, a mythical bird that spontaneously combusts and reborn from its ashes, a symbol of renewal and transformation.

The Phoenix ACT represents rebirth, rising from what is no longer possible. A metaphor for deep change, overcoming crises, and to initiate new beginnings.

The Phoenix represents resilience, the destruction of what no longer serves us, the opening of a new path, a fresh view, and renewed life.

Ariane Dalla Déa, PhD, CPSS

I am an anthropologist, writer, peer counselor, and an expert on the Theater of the Oppressed methodology.

Advocacy for policies at the state, county, and city level to enhance peer support services. I focus on women experiencing domestic violence, behavioral and mental health problems, and homelessness.

Coaching is mentoring. My lived experience with CPTSD, anxiety, and depression inform my dedication to healing and peer support. My life experience, academic knowledge, and training are solid foundations to my approach. I gathered a multitude of techniques and strategies to empower and assist you achieve your goals.

Theater therapy is a transformational and creative non-scripted, technique that guides the individual towards self-healing. I am an expert on Augusto Boal’s Theater of the Oppressed, and its subset Rainbow of Desire, and, combined with Drama Therapy they form the foundation to my one-on-one consultations and workshops.

My goal is to lead you to a new life level, to open up potentials within yourself, to bring the freshness of life, to the newness of being.

Each ending signals a new beginning.
