Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a unique approach to psychotherapy. Rather than traditional talk therapy, ART is a eye-movement based exposure therapy similar to EMDR. ART is unique because the ART Therapist guides you in replacing the negative images in the mind that cause the symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress and traumatic events with positive images of your choosing. Compared to EMDR, ART is more focused on somatic processing and maintaining a state of relaxation. It has also been researched as effective in treating complex grief and anxiety and phobias. This is done quickly, most often within just a handful of sessions! Once the negative images have been replaced by positive ones, the triggers will be gone. In ART we say, “Keep the knowledge, lose the pain”.

You will meet in the office in Troy for a 50-60 minute session and Mel will use bilateral eye movements and relaxation techniques combined with neurologically-based interventions to reprocess trauma while minimizing distress. And your insurance will cover this like any other psychotherapy service!

Mel has been providing ART since 2020 and is Master-Certified (the highest cert available) and has been an ART training assistant since 2022.
