What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (generally within 1-5 sessions).
Imagine what it feels like to carry a heavy burden – years of carrying the effects of trauma gone in a single session. Unbelievable?
This is what happens with your ART trained therapist and reprogramming distressing images and memories which have been stored in your brain and now, no longer trigger strong physical and emotional reactions.
Clients suffering with depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, substance abuse, and many other mental and physical conditions, experience remarkable benefits starting in the first session. ART is not hypnosis, does not require medications or homework.
Using unique visualization techniques and how the body is affected by distressing images or memories, ART enhances rapid eye movements similar to eye movements during dreaming. Peer review publications and additional ongoing studies for both civilians and military personnel can be found on the internet.
ART allows a client to erase old images and rewrite their story through reconsolidation, changing the physiological response to the memory.
HOW IS ART DIFFERENT
Targets images and sensations
Voluntary image replacement
Takes healing beyond desensitization to 'positization'
Process oriented, not content
WHY CLIENTS LOVE ART
NO narrative (client does not have to share details )
NO homework (the goal of the session is 'resolution')
NO ongoing appointments
ACCELERATED, measurable results
CAN address 'emotional blocks' like survivor's guilt
CLIENT centered (client is in control of session)
ART is recognized as a peer reviewed evidenced-based treatment for psychological trauma, developed to treat adults and children.
ART works for an amazingly wide range of problems. Our brains are capable of positively modifying unwanted material. Distancing emotional responses from problems facilitates the opportunity to look at situations objectively. Positive memories are reinforced and new information can be assimilated to rapidly restore one's functioning and health.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“I made more progress in one hour than I had made in 3 years of therapy.”
“I was extremely skeptical of ART but figured I had nothing to lose. After one session my feelings have changed dramatically. I am no longer sad, anxious or depressed about the situation that haunted me for months.”
Founder Laney Rosenzweig says, ““The most difficult aspect of discussing ART is the fact that it sounds too good to be true.” Hear Laney on TEDxSpringfield - The ART of Rapid Recovery.
ART is not a substitute for medical intervention. Always seek a physician if medical intervention is indicated.
