Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a revolutionary psychotherapy approach designed to effectively alleviate the distressing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

Unlike traditional therapy methods, ART offers a streamlined process for resolving emotional wounds and promoting lasting change in a fraction of the time.

ART is available virtually or in person.

What is ART?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a psychotherapy known for its efficiency in treating trauma related conditions including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, and other psychological issues.

Developed by Dr. Laney Rosenzweig in the early 2000s, ART combines elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Imagery Re-scripting, Exposure Therapy, and Gestalt therapy.

With just a few sessions, clients often experience significant improvement in their symptoms and a renewed sense of empowerment.

How does ART Work?

During an ART session, the therapist guides the client through a series of eye movements while recalling distressing memories or experiences. These eye movements are thought to facilitate the processing and integration of traumatic memories, helping to reduce the emotional intensity associated with them.

These eye movements are integrated with Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement, a method aimed at restructuring the storage of distressing memories and images in the brain. Through this process, the intense physical and emotional responses triggered by such memories diminish..
