Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based therapy for the treatment of trauma, phobias, anxiety-related disorders, and depression that is effective in alleviating symptoms within 1 to 5 sessions. Through guided visualization and with the use of eye movements, ART works with images and has the goal of memory reconsolidation. The individual is encouraged to focus on the story, themes, and metaphors, not the symptoms.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a unique treatment in that it includes many components from other therapies and treatment models including the following: exposure therapy, Gestalt therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), imagery re-scripting, guided imagery, and brief psychodynamic therapy.
This revolutionary treatment works for children and adults. Most of our staff are Master trained in ART and regularly incorporate this modality in their practice.
