Todd Schmenk

Todd is a licensed therapist, trainer, and the founder of RIACT — the Relational Institute of Applied Contextual Therapies — based in New England. He has spent over two decades helping people build a different relationship with their inner lives: not by silencing difficult thoughts and feelings, but by learning to work with them more skillfully. His work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), one of the most well-researched approaches in psychology, and he brings that science to life in ways that are practical, honest, and grounded in real human experience. He is a Peer-Reviewed ACT Trainer through the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science and an adjunct faculty member at Johnson and Wales University. On Insight Timer, Todd shares tools for building emotional flexibility, strengthening self-worth, navigating hard moments, and developing the habits that help people live in line with what actually matters to them. His approach is direct, warm, and built for everyday life — not just the therapy room.
