in Marlton, NJ & online across NJ & PA
Have you tried traditional talk therapy for years but not seen much change mentally, emotionally, or physically?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) would work great for you if you want to:
Move on from your traumas.
Find the root of your anxiety, depression, or any stress (and cope better).
Conquer your phobia.
Process grief and loss.
Make a decision, but need guidance.
ART will not only provide a mental shift for you, but also approach the emotions and physical sensations built up from any of these challenges.
ART can help you tap into your mindand body’screative abilities to heal from the distress you are facing.
ART is a unique therapy that focuses on the process of healing rather than the content of the problem. This especially works well for clients who do not feel comfortable sharing details of the problem (but you are more than welcomed to do so if this helps you). You will use relaxing back-and-forth eye movements, as they create a calming effect in the same way when we are in deep sleep and dreaming. By the end of an ART session, you feel a sense of relief within your mind and body.
Through the eye movements, ART will work your left and right brain, helping both the logical and creative sides to communicate with one another. You reprogram how distressing things (like memories or images) of a problem are stored in the brain and erase and replace stuck negative images that get in the way of having a clear mind. This alleviates the alarm bells that constantly ring from the triggers of the events, addressing your body’s response to those challenges. When we change the images attached to the problem, we, also, change the way we feel. You'll feel...better. You know the facts for sure! The facts do not have the negative emotions. But, the way you see it and feel about it becomes different. We can work on something happening currently, from the past, or even future anxieties. ART feels limitless with what we decide to tackle.
Throughout the past few months or years, you may have felt like whatever you’re facing is taking forever to process. You’ve invested in other therapies previously that have not provided the long-lasting changes you want. But the best part about ART is this: ART may help you resolve the problem generally within 1-5 sessions.
Being able to let go of whatever burden in just a few sessions is worth your investment.

Yes, it is! There are a few therapies that can achieve this. Our eye movements and our brains have a lot to do with this, which is impressive. No worries - I will explain once we meet together.

Great question! For those who may not be familiar, EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) therapy has been around for some time to help people process trauma. ART includes some aspects of EMDR, but there are notable differences! The founder of ART better explains it in this article: Differences Between EMDR and ART
