Fast, Effective Healing Without Reliving the Pain
What Is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based, short-term therapy proven to provide relief from trauma, anxiety, depression, and stress-related conditions. Using gentle eye movements and mental imagery, ART helps you reframe and release distressing memories without requiring prolonged verbal storytelling.
Research shows that ART can deliver deep emotional processing within just one to five one-hour sessions. It works by helping your brain reprocess memories in a way that diminishes their emotional impact, allowing healing without revisiting painful details.
How Accelerated Resolution Therapy Works
ART offers a structured, supportive path to recovery through:
Guided Eye Movements
Smooth, therapist-led horizontal eye movements activate your brain’s natural processing similar to dream states facilitating emotional release.
Imagery
Rescripting
You reimagine painful memories in a positive or neutral way, shifting emotional associations and creating mental clarity.
Efficient Therapy Sessions
Unlike traditional therapies, ART often achieves lasting change in as few as one to three sessions.
Minimal Verbal Disclosure Required
You’re not required to share or discuss difficult memories in detail making ART particularly accessible for those who struggle with talking about trauma.
Benefits of Choosing ART
Rapid Symptom Relief
ART creates noticeable shifts in fewer sessions than many traditional therapies.
Gentle, Trauma-Sensitive Approach
Clients report feeling supported, calm, and safe throughout treatment.
Less Stressful Process
By avoiding repetitive verbal reliving of trauma, ART reduces emotional distress during therapy.

ART addresses a wide range of emotional challenges, from PTSD and anxiety to OCD and depression.
No Medication or Homework Required
ART stands on its own, with no need for additional therapeutic assignments or interventions.
