Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART): A Faster Path to Healing

Get Started

What if you could heal from trauma, anxiety, and painful memories more quickly than you ever imagined?

That’s exactly what Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help with. ART is an evidence-based therapy that helps your brain reprocess difficult experiences using guided imagery and eye movements. A lot of people feel major relief after just 1 to 5 sessions — no need to spend years talking through painful memories.

As a trained ART therapist, I’m here to walk you through the process. The best part? You don’t have to relive every painful detail to heal. Together, we’ll help your brain let go of the emotional charge behind those memories so you can finally feel more at peace.

Healing Trauma and Anxiety Faster Than You Thought Possible

ART was developed in 2008 by Laney Rosenzweig, MS, LMFT. It works with your brain’s natural ability to heal itself — similar to what happens during REM sleep. By combining visualization and rapid eye movements, ART helps your brain reorganize how it stores distressing memories, so they don’t trigger the same emotional response anymore.

During a session, you’re in control the whole time. You don’t need to talk about the memory unless you want to. Instead, you’ll visualize it while following guided eye movements. This allows your brain to "rewrite" the memory, keeping the facts but stripping away the emotional pain.

ART is like a mental makeover—it helps you let go of painful memories and emotional patterns so you can feel calmer, stronger, and more grounded.

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?

“The most difficult aspect of discussing ART is the fact that it sounds too good to be true.”

How Does ART Work?

ART taps into your brain’s natural ability to heal. Here’s how it works:

Bilateral Stimulation – You’ll follow my hand movements with your eyes (similar to REM sleep), which helps your brain reprocess the memory and reduce its emotional charge.

Focused Attention – We’ll target the memory or emotional issue causing distress. You stay in control the whole time.

Imagery and Visualization – You’ll “rewrite” the memory, replacing distressing images with more positive or neutral ones.

Cognitive Restructuring – We’ll work on shifting negative thoughts and beliefs, helping you respond to situations more calmly and confidently.

ART works quickly — many people feel lighter and more at peace after just one session.

What Clients Say After ART

Clients often describe feeling immediate relief after just one or two sessions:

💬 “I can think about what happened, but I don’t feel the emotional pain anymore.”
💬 “I finally feel at peace after years of carrying this around.”
💬 “The triggers that used to overwhelm me just don’t affect me the same way.”
💬 “I wish I had known about ART sooner—this changed everything.”

Is ART Right for You?

ART could be a good fit if you:

✔️ Are open to trying a nontraditional approach to healing.

✔️ Have experienced trauma, anxiety, or emotional distress that still feels unresolved.

✔️ Are comfortable with guided visualization and eye movement techniques.

Why ART Works When Other Approaches Don’t

Talking about trauma doesn’t always heal it. That’s because trauma isn’t just stored in your thoughts — it’s wired into your nervous system. ART helps your brain untangle that wiring, so your emotional response shifts automatically.

✅ No need to relive the trauma – You don’t have to talk about it unless you want to.
✅ Fast and effective – Most people feel relief in 1–5 sessions.
✅ Empowering – You stay in control of the process the whole time.
✅ Deeper healing – ART resolves emotional triggers at the root, so the changes last.
