Healing doesn’t have to take years. Real change can happen faster than you think.
Keep the facts. Lose the pain.
Does it feel like the past keeps showing up in your present?
Are you someone who….
Gets reactive in relationships?

Feels like too much and not enough all at the same time?
Finds yourself struggling with cycles of burnout?

Reconnect to your inner knowing so you trust yourself instead of worrying about being “too much”
My Approach
You’ve hurt long enough. Now it’s time to let go.
How many sessions does ART take?
ART typically takes 1–5 sessions to complete a “target.”
A target is the specific memory, image, trigger, or body sensation we choose to focus on. Sometimes the target is the entire problem that is keeping you stuck — sometimes it is a layer. The target is the place your nervous system keeps returning to—the scene, sensation, or moment that still has charge. By targeting this place we change your nervous system patterns.
Many clients notice relief after the first session — especially in how “charged” a memory feels, how reactive their body gets, or how quickly they spiral afterward.
If you have layered trauma, long-term relational injury, or autistic burnout, you may still move quickly and need additional integration support. We’ll be honest together about what your system needs.
Targets can be things like:
That image that flashes up when you try to fall asleep
The moment you realised you weren’t safe / weren’t believed
The feeling in your chest that shows up right before you people-please
A specific relationship trigger—tone, look, silence—that sends you into a spiral
A memory that still feels present in your body
Client Reviews
“By the middle of the ART session I thought we were done because I was already seeing positive results, and the best hadn’t even arrived yet. So, I would say ART itself exceeded my expectations.”
--FI, former ART client“Maverick is a professional and they care a lot about what they do, so I knew they would give it their all. And I sought it out because I was told it was very good, and I was not disappointed.”
— GL, former ART client“I never thought I could reframe the powerfully negative images and experiences of my life. I thought they’d have a grip on me forever. But ART changed that.”
— TR, former ART clientPain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
This has never been more clear than with Accelerated Resolution Therapy.

Developed in 2008 by Laney Rosenzweig after studying EMDR, ART uses bilateral stimulation through eye movements, but focuses directly on the trauma instead of free association.
ART guides the client to replace negative images connected to emotional pain with positive ones. Once the negative images have been replaced, the triggers are gone, and nightmares and intrusive thoughts stop. -
You will be seated, just moving your eyes back and forth during your session. You do not have to talk about the details or your pain or trauma. The process uses eye movements, guided imagery replacement, gestalt, and psychodynamic therapy to replace negative images with positive ones.

What to expect
01 Assessment Call
Reach out and schedule 45-60 minute assessment call where we will identify your target problem and schedule your ART session.
02 Transformation
75-120 minute ART session where we use guided eye movements combined with multiple therapeutic approaches to release what’s been holding you back or keeping you stuck. We follow the nervous system’s shift as the charge of your memories decrease and we help your brain “file” the material differently — so it stops hijacking your present. You may never see your painful memories the same way, again!
03 Follow Up
We schedule a 30-minute follow up phone call two weeks out from your session.
ART can be a fit if you’re navigating:
trauma (including sexual trauma)
grief that feels stuck in the body
anxiety and depression that don’t shift through insight alone
rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD)
codependency and relationship triggers
self-doubt, self-distrust, and second-guessing your reality
unmasking and learning how to stay with yourself in relationships
autistic burnout and the cumulative cost of masking
Let go of memories, pain, and patterns that have been keeping you stuck.

Frequently asked questions —
-
No. One of the unique benefits of Accelerated Resolution Therapy is that you do not need to verbally relive or explain every detail of painful experiences for healing to happen.
ART works by helping your brain and nervous system process the emotional charge connected to the memory, rather than requiring you to repeatedly talk through it. This makes therapy feel safer and often much less overwhelming—especially for people who shut down, dissociate, or struggle to put their experiences into words.
-
Traditional therapy often focuses on understanding patterns through conversation over time. ART helps create change at the nervous system level much faster.
Instead of spending months talking around the same issue, ART helps reduce the emotional intensity of painful memories so they stop feeling like they are still happening. Many clients describe it as: “I still remember it, but it no longer controls me.”
The goal is simple: keep the facts, lose the pain.
-
ART is often used for trauma, PTSD, anxiety, panic, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, grief, perfectionism, burnout, and emotional shutdown.
It can also be incredibly helpful for late-diagnosed Autistic adults who are carrying years of masking, shame, chronic stress, or childhood experiences that still shape how they relate to themselves today.
If something from the past still feels emotionally present, ART can help.
-
Many clients notice meaningful relief within just one session, although the number of sessions depends on the complexity of what we’re working through.
Because ART works directly with how the brain stores emotional experiences, it often creates faster movement than traditional weekly therapy. Clients commonly report feeling lighter, calmer, clearer, and surprised by how quickly things shift.
The goal isn’t speed for the sake of speed—it’s helping you finally move forward.
