Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Healing Trauma with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Quick. Gentle. Lasting.

I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate the lasting effects of trauma. One of the powerful tools I use in therapy is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—an evidence-based approach designed to help you process painful memories quickly and with minimal distress.

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?

ART is a form of psychotherapy that uses rapid eye movements, along with guided imagery, to help the brain process and reframe traumatic experiences. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART doesn't require you to share every detail of your trauma. Instead, it focuses on how your brain and body store distress, allowing for a transformation in how you experience the memory—without reliving it.

How ART Helps with Trauma

Trauma can keep you stuck—mentally, emotionally, and even physically. You might find yourself triggered by memories, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unable to fully connect in your relationships. ART works by helping you:

• Desensitize distressing memories

• Reframe negative beliefs that came from the trauma

• Calm the nervous system, reducing symptoms like anxiety and hypervigilance

• Build resilience and confidence moving forward

Many clients begin to feel relief in just 1–5 sessions, making ART both efficient and empowering.

A Safe, Structured Experience

As a certified ART practitioner, I guide each session with care and respect for your experience. You are always in control of the pace and process. The goal isn’t to erase what happened—but to help your brain and body stop reacting as though it’s still happening.

Is ART Right for You?

Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, childhood trauma, relationship wounds, or even performance-related anxiety, ART can be a gentle and effective way to move forward. It's especially helpful for clients who feel stuck in traditional talk therapy or want a more focused approach to healing. If you are struggling with any of the following, ART can help!
