Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Fast, Effective Relief from Emotional Distress
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a groundbreaking, evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to resolve trauma, anxiety, depression, and other emotional challenges quickly and effectively. With ART, healing doesn’t have to take months or years. Many clients experience significant relief in as few as 1-5 sessions.
What Is ART?
ART reprograms the way distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions. ART accomplishes this through the use of rapid eye movements similar to eye movements that occur during dreaming. Although techniques similar to these are used in other types of therapies, ART’s very specific and directive approach can achieve rapid recovery from symptoms and reactions that may have been present for many years. ART combines long respected, sound treatment practices with safe and effective methods validated by current scientific research studies conducted by the University of South Florida.
This powerful therapy is:
Non-invasive – No need to share every detail of your story.
Rapid – Experience results in a fraction of the time compared to traditional therapy.
Empowering – Gain control over distressing memories and emotions.
How ART Works
ART uses guided imagery and back-and-forth eye movements to rewire how your brain processes traumatic or distressing experiences. This process helps to “reprogram” painful memories, reducing their emotional impact while maintaining your ability to recall events objectively.
With ART, you can:
Alleviate symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression.
Overcome phobias, grief, and loss.
Break free from self-limiting beliefs and negative thought cycles.

than I had made in 3 years of
therapy.”

longer sad, anxious or depressed
