Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART) is a compassionate, drug-free, and evidence-based approach designed to help people facing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and other challenging life experiences. Unlike many therapies that require you to revisit painful memories in detail, ART harnesses your strengths and problem-solving abilities to foster positive changes quickly—often in as few as three to five sessions.

ART brings together elements of Gestalt therapy, guided imagery, and the soothing power of repetitive eye movements. Scientific research shows that these gentle eye movements, linked to calming theta brain waves, can help transform unhelpful thoughts and feelings into healthier perspectives. By adding strategic enhancements to the process, ART enables you to overcome emotional distress more swiftly and efficiently than traditional forms of talk therapy.

One of the most reassuring aspects of Accelerated Resolution Therapy® for PTSD is that you don’t need to rehash the trauma or describe every detail to your therapist. Instead, you can focus on moving toward relief without the overwhelming burden of reliving the past. If you are motivated to heal, can follow simple eye movements, and can visualize ideas, ART may be the key to creating the brighter future you deserve.
