Mental Health and Addiction Counselling with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
A different type of therapy.

What is the Process?
Before starting ART, we’ll ensure you feel safe and supported. Your first appointment includes an assessment and a focus on education around mental health, coping strategies, and how ART works.
During each session, you’ll be guided through a calm, structured process. Using gentle visualization combined with bilateral stimulation, ART engages the subconscious to release memories and patterns stored in the body that may be contributing to current struggles.
Most people notice significant change in about 1–5 sessions, though the number can vary. After that, clients can return as needed.

The Mind-Body Connection: Releasing Trauma from the Body
“If you’ve ever felt butterflies in your stomach over an upcoming event, you’re well aware of the mind-body connection and how emotions can appear in different parts of the body. Our bodies can carry the weight of our memories, emotions, and trauma.”
The Talk Therapy Trap: Why it may not be working for you.
“When the brain has been through traumatic changes resulting in PTSD, anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders, top-down approaches are often not wholly effective. As trauma-altering beliefs have affected informational systems, prompting a patient to use a “rational approach” is often unsuccessful.”
Inspiring change through education and rapid healing.
