Clinical Counselling Kelowna

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an innovative, research-supported approach to psychotherapy that employs bilateral eye movements in a structured format to process memories linked to unhelpful patterns and beliefs.

While the brain is focusing on the current problem paired with eye movements, unwanted body sensations, thoughts and emotions can be processed out, which puts the mind and body in a much calmer state. This then creates a platform where new connections, patterns and beliefs can be crafted that move you toward true healing. Through ART we are also able to build on your natural strengths and problem-solving abilities without having the complex emotional overload that often keeps you feeling stuck. 

One of the biggest advantages to ART is that within a single session, we are able to help your left and right brain communicate with one another better – this is key to assist in healing as we are bringing relief to both your emotional and logical brain. This is why within the name it has the word resolution – we are truly creating resolve and healing, not just coping with the problems. The evidence to date for ART shows that the changes you make will be long-lasting.

Common issues ART has been applied to: depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), addictions, eating disorders, phobias, sleeping issues, relationship issues, and grief & loss, just to name a few. If you are truly motivated and ready to dive into some deep and profound work within yourself, then ART may be a fit for you. Please note that prior to beginning ART, detailed assessments must be conducted. She also often recommends 1 or 2 Talk Therapy sessions with her prior to being eligible for ART.
