Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brief, effective, evidence-based approach to resolving trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, and other mental health issues. ART incorporates guided eye movements and visualization techniques to help clients reprocess painful memories and reduce the emotional intensity of past experiences. This therapy allows individuals to address distressing memories without having to verbally relive or rehash every detail, making it a gentle yet powerful form of healing.

​

During ART sessions, clients focus on a specific memory or thought while a therapist guides them through a series of rapid eye movements, similar to those naturally occurring in REM sleep. These eye movements, combined with visualization, stimulate the brain's natural problem-solving abilities, allowing clients to “rewrite” traumatic images or emotions. As a result, painful memories are transformed into more neutral or positive mental images, significantly reducing their emotional impact.

​

Unlike other therapies that may take months to achieve similar results, ART typically provides relief in as few as 1-5 sessions. With its short-term structure, ART is ideal for individuals looking for fast, meaningful change. This unique approach is designed to empower clients to reclaim peace and control, moving forward from past experiences with renewed strength.
