Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
80 minutes - $150.00
For individuals aged 12+ and living in British Columbia.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an innovative and evidence-based form of psychotherapy. It utilizes guided eye movements and techniques from established therapies to replace negative images with positive ones. ART alleviates or resolves mental distress without the need for detailed trauma discussions, including experiences of depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, sleep, eating disorders, etc. It promotes rapid progress, and clients describe sessions as calming and often joyful.
See here for more information about ART.
ART is a structured form of individual therapy. It usually requires 1-3 sessions to work on one issue or theme. Positive effects are generally reported after 3-4 sessions.
Prior to starting ART, I require you to attend an 80-minute initial session to explore the themes and scenes you want to address using ART. I will provide information about ART, answer questions, and assess whether ART is a suitable therapy for your concerns. You will leave our initial session with a new tool using the smooth pursuit eye movements of ART that you can use on your own.
Returning clients are welcome to discuss ART in our sessions. We can work together to determine whether ART is a good option for future sessions.
Parental/guardian permission is required for individuals 12-18 years old and will be collected
during the intake process.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Coming soon!
For individuals aged 19+ and living in British Columbia.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a well-established form of psychotherapy that helps process, alleviate and resolve distress associated with trauma and stress. EMDR uses guided eye movements to target specific memories and essentially reprogram the brain. In the days following EMDR sessions, clients often notice a reduction in the emotional charge associated with targeted memories, leading to increased well-being and a greater sense of control over their emotional experiences.
EMDR is a structured individual therapy. It is usually delivered in 6-12 sessions, but some people benefit from fewer. Sessions may occur 1-2 times per week and can be on consecutive days.
See here for more information about EMDR.
