ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)
What is ART Therapy?
ART is Accelerated Resolution Therapy, a unique approach to therapy with the intention to resolve distress, using eye movements, using images and metaphors, not thoughts.
Using the power of bilateral eye movements and your own creativity, ART uses voluntary image replacement to resolve distress, because trauma doesn't live in the brain, it lives in the limbic system.
The founder, Laney describes it as, “ART combines the enormous power of eye movements to allow voluntary changes in the client’s mind with well-established therapies like Gestalt, Psychodynamic Therapy and Guided Imagery."
One of the special aspects of ART is that when clients replace their negative images with positive ones they don’t need to talk to the therapist about any details of the trauma. This is because ART is procedural, though creative; and the client is really in control of the process, while the ART Therapist is a helpful guide. This makes the therapy easier on the client and easier on the therapist.

What Clients are Saying
As a first time mother, I had a traumatic experience early on in my motherhood journey. This experienced skyrocketed my postpartum anxiety, and even though I tried to pretend that I was okay, this experience consumed my thoughts, and I was living in fear every day. And when I really thought about the incident, I completely broke down. Lyndsey guided me through the process with so much genuine care that it made the process as bearable as possible. And after just one session, I felt like I had the bigges weight lifted off my shoulders. Through the following sessions she continued to lead me through a path of healing, completely tailored to me and my experience. I can’t thank Lyndsey enough for her work. She truly changed my life. I can now think back on this experience that once shook me to my core and now, it’s like I remember it differently. It doesn’t consume me and my thoughts, it just comes and goes without leaving me with any anxiety or fear.
It is now 2 years after the incident and I feel as though I can live my life.
Appointments with Lyndsey have been incredibly helpful and positively impacted my life. Recently, we used ART to work through a traumatic situation. While I was skeptical at first, she created a safe and comfortable environment that allowed me to reframe the situation and work through it. She took her time to walk be through the ART process and made sure I understood my goals and the goals of the experience.

I’ve spent years and years therapy trying to work through trauma with various therapists and models of therapy including EMDR. It seemed like nothing was working, and despite the effort that I was putting in to therapy, was very stuck in my trauma. After one ART with Lyndsey, I saw a significant decrease in nightmares for the first time in 30 years. Lyndsey is phenomenal, and was compassionate in her approach as she guided me through ART.
