Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Moving Beyond Trauma
Accelerated Resolution Therapy, or ART, is a cutting-edge, evidence-based approach to help people process and resolve traumatic or stressful experiences quickly and effectively. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART uses gentle eye movements and visualization techniques to help your brain “reprocess” memories, so past events no longer trigger intense emotional reactions.
ART is used to address a wide range of issues, including:
Trauma and PTSD
Anxiety and panic
Depression and low mood
Phobias and fears
Stress from difficult life experiences
Grief and loss
How Does ART Work?
During an ART session, your therapist will guide you through techniques that help your mind reframe and release the emotional intensity of past memories. This doesn’t erase the memory, but it changes how your brain responds to it—so the feelings tied to the memory are reduced or eliminated.
Most people notice significant improvement after the very first session. ART is gentle, non-invasive, and does not require revisiting the trauma in detail—making it a safe and effective option for many teens and adults.
