Accelerated Resolution Therapy Intensive FAQ
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a cutting-edge psychotherapy approach designed to help individuals overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART utilizes a combination of techniques, including guided imagery and bilateral eye movements, to rapidly reprocess distressing memories and emotions. By replacing negative images with positive ones, ART empowers clients to break free from the grip of past trauma and experience significant relief in just a single session. This evidence-based therapy offers a streamlined and effective path to healing, promoting lasting transformation and improved overall well-being.

ART Intensives are personalized treatment plans that are designed to help you through a specific trauma, supporting your preferred schedule and timeline for your treatment goals.
Through ART Intensives, we can access your symptoms and concerns in a more succinct and focused way, allowing deep work in an extended and effective session.
Intensives range from 90 minutes to 3 hours at a time. They may decrease overall treatment time due to time not spent on:
playing catch up at the beginning of the session
addressing current crises and concerns
revisiting repeated patterns and issues
Intensives allowing for powerful healing in a short period of time!

The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time. Learn more here.
ART has been recognized as an effective psychotherapy for PTSD, depression, stress, and personal resilience. ART has also been classified as a promising therapy for symptoms of phobia, panic, anxiety, sleep and wake disorders, disruptive and antisocial behaviors, general functioning and well-being.
ART is firmly grounded in techniques used in well-established evidence-based treatments, including exposure through visualization, visualized in-vivo exposure, relaxation/stress inoculation facilitated by eye movements, re-scripting of negative images, Gestalt techniques, and others.

What is an Intensive?
In traditional one hour therapy sessions, we only get 30-40 minutes of deep healing work until it’s time to wrap things up. With an intensive, we get an uninterrupted 3-hour block solely focused on your healing journey.
Intensives allow yourself time to close the door on trauma, anxiety, and depression symptoms that have haunted you for years.
In an intensive we can work on:
Painful childhood experiences
Religious trauma and abuse
Letting go of past romantic relationships
Reframing situations that are overstimulating or overwhelming
Behaviors that keep you from starting the healing journey and more!
Imagine all the progress that you can make in an extended time block—helping you move forward so you can be there for yourself and the things you care about the most.
Imagine Your Life!

What does an ART Intensive Include?
-
Pre-Intensive Consultation
Once you fill out the intensive application, our admin will schedule you for a 30 minute phone call consultation with Becca to see if ART is the best fit for you! If it is a good fit, we’ll schedule your session!
-
Building the Story
During ART, we’ll dive deep into a specific event, sensation, or experience. At the beginning of our session, we’ll create the script for the story so you know what to expect during the reprocessing.
-
Process it Out
After we build the story, we’ll work on processing out the sensations and images using bilateral eye movements. The eye movements will help with the imagery of the scene. With the extended time, we’ll be able to address and process out the negative sensations and images.
-
Finding Peace
After the reprocessing, we’ll take time to debrief the experience and reflect on your new perspectives, relief, and transformation. We’ll also discuss what’s next for continued growth and healing

Testimonials
Meet Becca
Hey there!
I’m Becca Ferguson, Licensed Professional Counselor and Accelerated Resolution Therapy Intensive Therapist.
I’m going to be real with you. Trauma sucks. We deal with messages every day of how to “get over” our trauma and “move on”, but it seems like NOTHING WORKS!
When I was diagnosed with PTSD a lightbulb went off in my head. I had been a therapist for a hot minute, but I felt like nothing made sense for me. How was it that my trauma was trauma enough? I mean, I was functioning just fine…right?
When we grow up in trauma, we’re taught to survive, but that doesn’t mean that we have to live that way forever. We are allowed to experience freedom, joy, love, and peace.
Getting trained in ART was a game-changer for me! I was so excited to find something that spoke to my neurodivergent brain. ART allowed me to process my trauma in a structured environment while giving me the freedom to visualize my future.
I’m so excited to provide this same opportunity to you! If you feel stuck and want to find healing, reach out today to get started!
