ART Therapy Can help you
move forward.
Negative experiences can cause changes in the brain's structure and function, but with ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) the brain is able to reprocesses unresolved trauma or traumatic events to help you recover and heal. Healing from trauma allows you to embrace the present, connect with others authentically, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience that empowers you to thrive.
ART can help you transform your traumatic experiences, achieving profound healing without the need for prolonged or painful treatment.
During an ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) session, you remain fully in control, sharing only what feels right to you—or nothing at all. Using bilateral brain stimulation, we create a safe and supportive environment where your brain can process traumatic memories. This process often takes as little as 1 to 5 sessions. Together, we will identify the triggers—whether images or sensations—and gently replace them with positive associations, reducing the intense negative emotions tied to the trauma. You'll develop healthier coping mechanisms and move forward with a renewed sense of hope and resilience.

Highly Sensitive People
Traumatic death of a loved one
Perfectionism, Anxiety, Burnout
Childhood/Familial/Generational Trauma/Abuse
Feelings of worthlessness, lacking self confidence
Frequently asked questions about ART
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps your brain reprocess distressing memories and images, using bilateral stimulation, to reduce or eliminate pain while preserving valuable insights. There's no need to repeatedly relive the trauma in detail. This quick and effective approach often yields results in just 1 to 5 sessions.
-
We'll begin with a thorough intake session, which will allow me to understand you and your goals better, address any questions you may have, and collaboratively develop a plan to monitor your progress as we work together. During this time we will discuss the best plan of action for you, your schedule and your needs.
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are both effective for treating trauma, though they use different methods. Both can help reduce trauma symptoms. ART is a faster technique, more focused on specific images, while EMDR takes you through the entire traumatic event in order.
ART and EMDR are both evidence-based therapies that utilize eye movements to process traumatic experiences. While they differ in their approaches to trauma treatment, both are effective in alleviating trauma symptoms.The choice between ART and EMDR depends on individual needs and preferences. ART offers a faster, more targeted approach, whereas EMDR provides a comprehensive and in-depth process. Both therapies are valuable for managing and healing from trauma, and the best option often hinges on the specific context and treatment goals.
-
It is recommended that ART sessions be done in person, especially in the case of severe trauma. However, we can discuss your presenting symptoms, needs, concerns and determine the best options for your particular situation during our consultation.
-
In both the consult and your intake, we will explore what the best option for your current needs are, keeping in mind factors like time, finances, past therapy history and if you currently already have a therapist you work with.
