An innovative mental health treatment growing in popularity for its ability to provide rapid relief to those recovering from trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
ART is an innovative trauma therapy created in 2008 by Lanie Rosenwig, a licensed marriage and family therapist who combined several therapeutic techniques from CBT and EMDR to develop Accelerated Resolution Therapy. ART uses guided eye movements and imagery to help patients process traumatic memories and reduce emotional distress.
During an ART session, the trained therapist uses a technique known as “imaginal exposure”. This is where the patient imagines a traumatic event in a less distressing way and focuses on a positive memory to replace the traumatic one.
Accelerated Resolution has promising results in the treatment of trauma and other mental health disorders and is providing patients with quick relief— with many reporting improved symptoms after just one to five sessions.
ART uses core techniques of evidence-based PTSD treatment and the principles of trauma-informed care to address severe distress in patients with mental health disorders.
The American Psychological Association recognizes Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as a first-line treatment for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). ART can help trauma survivors regain a sense of control, reduce emotional distress, and build resilience.
ART helps individuals challenge negative thoughts or beliefs that contribute to their anxiety. Through desensitization and reprocessing, patients gradually reduce the emotional intensity and stress of previous negative memories or experiences.
Harper Clinic follows the principles of trauma-informed care, focusing on empowerment, collaboration, safety, and building resilience in each individual we work with. We encourage our patients to have a voice throughout their treatment process and regain control of their lives.
Medication management is an ongoing course of treatment. Our clinical team will meet with patients weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly to ensure medication is working properly and patients are not experiencing adverse side effects. We can change medications and adjust doses as necessary.
Our easy consultation process helps patients schedule their Accelerated Resolution Therapy session and find the relief they need.

The timeline for ART to work is different for everyone. However, ART has grown in popularity for its ability to provide faster relief of symptoms than conventional therapies. Patients have reported improved symptoms after just one to five sessions, depending on the complexity of their trauma.
Yes. ART is an evidence-based mental health therapy recognized by several health organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Psychological Association (APA).
A typical ART session lasts 50 to 90 minutes. The amount of sessions one requires depends on the individual, such as the severity of their mental health disorder and if they have other supports in place.
