Have you felt like you’ve tried everything?  

Reluctant to do counselling because you don’t want to “talk about it”?

Don’t want to be in therapy for months?  

A.R.T. might be for you!

Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART) is a brief, structured form of psychotherapy designed to help you recover from distressing experiences, emotions, or sensations that may feel “stuck” in your mind or body.

Using gentle, guided eye movements and visualization techniques, ART helps the brain reprocess troubling memories in a way that reduces emotional pain while preserving the facts of what happened. Through ART, clients are able to erase negative images associated with memories, resulting in the elimination of corresponding triggers.

During an ART session, you’ll remain fully in control as your therapist guides you through a series of eye movements—which we believe to be similar to what naturally occurs during dreaming—while you recall a difficult memory or feeling. Through this process, your brain can safely “update” the memory by removing or replacing the corresponding images so that it no longer triggers the same distress, fear, or physical tension. You don’t have to describe your trauma in detail if you prefer not to; many people appreciate this sense of privacy and control.

Most clients describe ART as calm, focused, and surprisingly efficient.

Because each session follows a structured protocol, progress can often be seen within one or a few sessions rather than months of therapy.

People commonly report significant improvements in symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and other stress-related problems, along with better sleep and a greater sense of peace.

ART is grounded in the science of how memories and emotions are stored in the brain. By helping the mind replace distressing images and sensations with new, positive ones, ART allows healing to occur quickly and safely; so you can move forward without being held back by the past.
