Adjunct (Accelerated Resolution Therapy®) ART® Sessions
Partnering to Support your Clients
We understand how challenging it can be when a client appears stuck, despite your best efforts. Whether they’re navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relational issues, eating disorders or other barriers, some clients may need a targeted intervention but aren’t ready—or able—to transition to a higher level of care.
That’s where we come in.
When Adjunct ART® Sessions Can Help:
-
A client meets criteria for trauma or complex emotional needs but isn’t ready for an intensive program.
-
Logistical challenges prevent them from accessing higher levels of care.
-
Persistent symptoms like intrusive thoughts, avoidance, or dissociation are making progress slow or feel stalled.
-
You feel like you’ve tried every approach, and both you and the client need a focused, fresh perspective.
Why Adjunct ART® is Different:
-
No need to transfer care: Clients can remain in therapy with you while accessing short-term ART® sessions as a complement to your work.
-
ART® can be short-term and often provides relief in as few as 1–5 sessions, helping clients process trauma, stuck emotions, or distressing memories quickly and effectively.
-
Clients do not need to share a lot of details about their distress or trauma for ART® to be effective.
-
We partner with you to ensure ART® sessions align seamlessly with your treatment plan and goals you have established with the client.
Help Your Clients Get Unstuck
Adjunct ART® sessions can help your clients move past barriers and return to your sessions with renewed focus, reduced symptoms, and readiness to engage.
