Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Moving Beyond Trauma
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) works directly to reprogram the way in which distressing memories and images are stored in the brain so that they no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a short-term psychotherapy that facilitates positive change—often within just one session. Recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Department of Defense (DOD), ART is an evidence-based treatment designed to rapidly alleviate symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions.
How ART Works
ART uniquely integrates rapid eye movements with elements of well-established therapeutic techniques, including:
-
Gestalt Therapy
-
Psychodynamic Therapy
-
Guided Imagery
Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART empowers clients to replace distressing images and memories with positive ones, breaking the cycle of negative emotions and triggers. This transformation occurs at a neurological level, leading to lasting relief from trauma and stress-related disorders.
A Calming, Client-Controlled Experience
A key advantage of ART is that clients do not have to verbalize or relive traumatic details. Instead, through a structured, creative, and procedural approach, they remain in control while the ART therapist serves as a guide. This makes ART not only highly effective but also gentler on both the client and the therapist.
