When talk therapy isn’t the answer.
Maybe you’ve been to traditional therapy before and weren’t able to achieve the results you hoped for. Or, you aren’t interested in talk therapy but there’s something negatively impacting you, and you can’t seem to break free from it.
ART is a much faster and gentler way of helping you get unstuck.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based therapy that utilizes rapid eye movements somewhat similar to EMDR. However, ART is very different than EMDR in that clients often experience significant relief after only 1-5 sessions. And, unlike EMDR and traditional talk therapy, ART relies on visualization not a laborious or painful retelling of your story. This means that the client is in full control and doesn’t have to share anything that they don’t want to. With ART, the healing process can move smoothly and quickly.

By using guided eye movements and specific therapeutic techniques, ART helps the brain reprocess difficult experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional intensity.
