Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) in Scottsdale, AZ
Fast, Effective Trauma Therapy for Anxiety, PTSD, and Emotional Relief
At BrainBody Wellness Counseling in Scottsdale, AZ, our Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) provides a fast, evidence-based approach to trauma recovery, PTSD treatment, anxiety relief, and stress management. If you’re searching for “trauma therapy near me,” “ART therapy in Scottsdale,” or the “best trauma therapist in Scottsdale,” ART offers a structured, short-term solution that can help you process distressing memories and regain emotional balance in as few as six sessions.
ART is ideal for individuals seeking a brain-based therapy that works directly with how memories are stored, without the need to relive trauma in detail. Our Scottsdale ART therapist, Jenna Ciancanelli, LPC, guides clients through a gentle yet highly effective process that promotes nervous system regulation, reduces emotional intensity, and helps you move forward with clarity and confidence.
What Is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a brain-based, short-term trauma therapy that combines visualization, memory reconsolidation, and bilateral stimulation—similar to EMDR—to help the brain “recode” distressing memories. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART does not require clients to recount every detail of their trauma. Instead, it focuses on neutralizing emotional intensity, transforming painful images and beliefs into adaptive, healing experiences.
ART has been shown to significantly reduce symptoms of:
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Anxiety and panic
Depression and low mood
OCD and intrusive thoughts
Chronic stress and trauma-related tension
By working directly with how the brain stores traumatic experiences, ART provides a more direct and accelerated path to healing.
Who Can Benefit from ART?
ART is suitable for anyone experiencing the emotional or physiological effects of trauma, including:
Individuals recovering from childhood trauma or abuse
Survivors of accidents, medical trauma, or sudden loss
People struggling with relationship trauma or emotional overwhelm
Those experiencing ongoing anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or flashbacks
Whether your trauma is recent or long-standing, ART in Scottsdale can help you regain a sense of safety, control, and emotional clarity.
How Accelerated Resolution Therapy Works
At BrainBody Wellness Counseling, our ART sessions follow a structured, supportive process:
Safe Visualization: Clients are guided to visualize traumatic memories in a controlled and safe environment.
Bilateral Stimulation: Eye movements or other techniques activate the brain’s natural healing mechanisms.
Memory Reprocessing: Painful images, sensations, and beliefs are transformed into healthier, more adaptive patterns.
Integration: Skills are reinforced to maintain emotional stability and reduce stress beyond therapy.
Through this approach, ART helps reduce the emotional charge of memories, promote nervous system regulation, and restore clarity, confidence, and resilience.
