ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY 

Brief Intervention for Lasting Change

​

A.R.T. is a brain-body approach that can help you find relief and make changes more quickly than traditional talk therapy alone.

 

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.) efficiently and effectively integrates working memory imagery, bilateral eye-movements and a therapeutic protocol to help you find relief from negative images and sensations associated with:

​

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Grief

  • Job Trauma or Workplace Stress

  • Poor Self-Image

  • Relationship Challenges

  • Codependency

  • Performance Anxiety

  • Social Anxiety

  • Bad Memories

  • Drinking Too Much / Substance Abuse

  • Emotional Overlay of ADHD and Dyslexia

​

A.R.T. combines bilateral eye movements with aspects of traditional therapeutic modalities to reprogram how distressing memories and images are stored in the brain. You still know the facts. However, the negative image loses its intensity and impact, so it no longer triggers strong emotional reactions. After A.R.T., many clients say, "I still know what happened and that it happened to me, but when I think about it now, it feels like I am just an observer and not personally involved."

​

Unlike some other trauma therapies, one of the benefits of A.R.T. is that clients don’t need to talk about all of the details of the trauma, making the therapy process more comfortable for the client. Compared to similar therapies, in A.R.T. clients are able to more rapidly process the discomfort and move towards relief and positive change. Most clients actually enjoy the process of A.R.T., as it often is relaxing and creative.​

Client-Centered

People are naturally motivated toward achieving positive psychological functioning. This therapy respects the client's experience and trusts the client to lead the change process. Your brain knows how to do it! 

Trauma-Informed

Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing event. It can have a significant impact on mental health, leading to symptoms like anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and more. Trauma can often manifest somatically with physical symptoms.  

Short-Term

Many people experience relief and lasting change in just 1 session; the average treatment range is 1 to 5 sessions.  The length of therapy depends on several variables including the treatment goals.

Evidence-Based

There is independent research and data demonstrating A.R.T.'s effectiveness. A.R.T. is recognized as an evidenced-based treatment for psychological trauma and depression by the Society of Clinical Psychology, Div. 12 of the American Psychological Association (APA).
