Benefits of Accelerated Resolution Therapy

ART is designed to resolve trauma and emotional pain in as few as one to five sessions. By focusing on rapid relief, it minimizes the time spent re-experiencing distress and maximizes your path to peace.

ART is effective for a wide range of conditions, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, and phobias. This versatility allows us to tailor the approach to your unique challenges and goals.

ART works with both the mind and body to help you process emotions, reduce physical symptoms of stress, and regain a sense of balance and well-being.

What is ART?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an evidence-based, therapeutic approach that combines elements of traditional talk therapy with eye movement techniques to help individuals reprocess distressing memories and emotions. Unlike other forms of trauma therapy, ART doesn’t require you to relive or discuss painful experiences in detail. Instead, the focus is on visualizing a new way to respond and resolve to those memories, creating lasting relief. 

At CenterLife Counseling, our process is non-invasive and client-led, so you remain in control throughout. Many clients report feeling lighter, more focused, and emotionally free after just a few sessions. Whether you’re seeking relief from trauma, managing anxiety, or overcoming personal challenges, ART provides a powerful tool for transformation.

See What Our Clients are Saying

"I used to see a therapist at CenterLife Counseling years ago, and then they retired. After a break, I needed to find someone new, but I didn’t think I’d find another therapist that was just as good. Of course, I called CenterLife. They matched me up with a new therapist that's every bit as wonderful; I’ll be seeing him until he retires one day, too!" – G.S.
"I called around, looking to get tested for ADHD, and couldn’t get an appointment anywhere within 6 months. I actually cried on the phone when I called CenterLife, and they got me in the following week!" – Client
"After having issues with another clinic, and getting ghosted by a second one, I am so grateful to CenterLife for getting me in for testing so quickly. I am now on medication, have experienced significant improvements in my life, and am finally able to be present and in the moment in every aspect of my life. I can’t express enough, my gratitude to CenterLife, my regular therapist, and my testing therapist." – A.B.
"I followed my therapist from another clinic recently to CenterLife Counseling, I'd follow her anywhere she goes. The receptionist that helped me through registration was so kind and helpful, what a nice surprise after the last place." - Client
"Our child is non-binary and started seeing a therapist at CenterLife about 5 months ago. It's not easy being a teen today, and I am so relieved to have found a place where my kid feels safe and seen." - Client's mom
"When I was ready to take a break from therapy, it was a sad good-bye with my therapist, and an equally sad goodbye with Saunya at the front desk, she was always smiling and knew my name and made me feel so safe and welcome. I really appreciated her." – K.C.
