Accelerated resolution therapy

Certified Master ART Practitioner

Helping you find relief without getting stuck in all the details of the past.

Do you ever feel stuck playing those upsetting memories over and over?

You know – the ones that leave you feeling anxious, angry, or just plain drained.  

You've been carrying this burden for a long time. You might even be thinking, "Haven't I dealt with this enough already?"

Therapy has crossed your mind, but the thought of spending months, even years, reliving painful memories feels exhausting.  You crave a deeper solution, a way to move forward without getting stuck in the details.  

What if there was a way to rewrite the story your brain tells about the past?

What if just ONE session could make all the difference?

ART empowers your brain to do the healing work, so you can move past the triggers and patterns that have been holding you back.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy can help you feel like yourself again in the midst of:

  • Trauma & painful experiences

  • Distressing memories and images

  • Anxiety, fears, and phobias

  • Feeling reactive to small things

  • Anger and irritability

  • Feeling disconnected

  • Grief and loss

  • Guilt about the past

How it works

Your memories don't have to be so distressing. Accelerated Resolution Therapy can help you rewrite your story.

Memories create connections between different parts of your brain, and sometimes, these connections aren't properly processed. This can leave us with upsetting memories that linger and cause pain. Through Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), we complete the processing of troubling experiences, neutralizing them, and even transforming them into positive ones. They become facts of your past that no longer hold power over you.

You don’t need to recount the details of your trauma if you don't want to. You're in control of the process, while I guide you through it. With just 1-5 sessions, I will help you identify triggering images and sensations and replace them with positive ones. Once the negative bits are replaced, you'll find relief from sleepless nights and intrusive thoughts. You will be able to remember the facts without the pain.

Beyond our sessions, I’ll teach you tools to take home. These tools will empower you to continue the healing process on your own, helping you manage your emotions, calm your nerves, alleviate anxiety, and even improve your sleep quality. 

With ART, we rewrite the story of your experiences, clearing the path to better communication, parenting, relationships, and connections. It's a transformative intervention that puts you back in control of your life, with the support and guidance you need every step of the way.

How we’ll work together

We’ll start with an in-depth intake session. This will give me an opportunity to learn more about you and your goals, answer any questions you have, and co-create a plan to track your progress throughout our work together.

You choose the format that works best for you:

  • If you prefer to make progress steadily over time, we can meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for 50- or 80-minute sessions. ART sessions are typically scheduled for 80 minutes to give sufficient time for full processing

  • For accelerated results, concentrated therapy in the form of intensives may be a good fit for you. Like a large dose of therapy at once, you can experience rapid relief and healing with a relatively small time investment. 1- and 2-day options available. Click here to learn more.

  • If you’re already working with another therapist and finding the work there helpful, great! Accelerated Resolution Therapy can be a powerful addition to your work by helping to break through a specific barrier or accelerate your healing as you continue working with your therapist. Adjunct therapy can occur via ongoing or intensive therapy.

why i do this work

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is proven to be fast and effective.

As an evidence-based practice, ART has been shown to provide quick relief from upsetting and disturbing memories in just one to five sessions, typically over the course of 2 to 4 weeks. The directive and interactive design facilitates these rapid results at a deep neurological level, without the guesswork of free association, as in other therapies.

You don’t have to spend years reliving the pain.

rewrite your story and move forward without the pain of the past

Frequently asked questions

  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) focuses on the "how" of healing. It guides your brain to reprocess upsetting memories and images in a way that reduces or eliminates pain while retaining knowledge. No need to relive the trauma in all its details over and over. It's a fast-acting approach, with results often seen in just 1-5 sessions.

  • ART and EMDR use some of the same mechanisms. However, ART tends to be more gentle, and research suggests that its effects are deeper and longer lasting than EMDR.

    ART can be a good fit if you have tried EMDR and it didn’t feel like the right fit.

  • While ART is a newer modality, it is classified as evidence-based and research indicates it may be more effective than Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and prolonged exposure due to its increased precision. Patients are shown to experience continued progress even after treatment is complete.

  • It is generally recommended that ART sessions be done in person, especially in the case of severe trauma. However, your location should not be a barrier to access. I’m happy to help you determine the best options for your particular situation during our consultation.

  • ART sessions are designed to be completed on their own. Depending on your needs, goals, and timeline, we can focus solely on ART sessions, or alternate with talk therapy. We’ll discuss this as we begin our work together.

  • It can. If there are traumas or painful experiences preventing effective communication and connection, ART sessions may be a great choice for one or both partners.
