Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

Have you tried talk therapy, but something still feels stuck? Some experiences don't resolve through talking alone — the memory keeps its grip, and your body keeps reacting as if the threat is still there.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART) is a brief, structured form of psychotherapy designed to help you process distressing memories and experiences, often in significantly fewer sessions than traditional approaches.

How ART Works

ART uses guided eye movements — similar to what happens naturally during REM sleep — combined with somatic (body-based) processing. During a session, you'll follow my hand movements with your eyes while briefly focusing on the distressing memory or image.

Here's the key part: you don't have to talk about the details of what happened if you don't want to. ART works with the images and sensations stored in your mind and body, helping you replace negative images and sensations with positive ones. The facts of what happened stay with you — but the emotional and physical charge attached to them can change.

What ART Can Help With

• Trauma and PTSD

• Distressing memories that keep resurfacing

• Anxiety and phobias

• Grief

• Barriers that haven't resolved through other therapies

ART can be a good fit if you're open to trying an alternative approach when previous solutions haven't worked.

What a Session Looks Like

ART sessions run 60–90 minutes to allow time for complete processing — many clients notice a shift within a single session, though the number of sessions needed varies by person and history. I completed formal training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy through the Rosenzweig Center for Rapid Recovery.

ART can be provided on its own or woven into ongoing individual therapy.

Is ART Right for You?

The honest answer: it depends on you and your history, and I'd rather explore that with you directly than make promises on a webpage. Progress in any therapy takes effort — ART is a powerful tool, not a magic fix.
