Healing, targeted.
Focused treatment for what keeps you stuck.
Some things deserve a different approach. Not more time talking about what's wrong, but focused attention on what needs to change.
Different challenges.
Different starting points.
Not every struggle calls for the same kind of treatment. A frightening experience, an overwhelming loss, or the relentless pressure to perform can affect your life in very different ways.
These three focused programs are designed around the experiences that bring people to therapy—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Each combines individualized assessment with targeted treatment using approaches such as ART and EMDR, selected according to your needs.
01 / WHEN THE WORST THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IS STILL RUNNING YOUR LIFE
It happened then. Why does it still feel like now?
The accident. The diagnosis. The assault. The moment everything changed….
You know it's over. You may have talked about it, made sense of it, even convinced yourself you've moved on. But your body and emotions don't always seem to agree.
Maybe you avoid certain places or situations. Maybe a sound, a smell, or an unexpected reminder brings everything rushing back. Or perhaps you've simply never felt quite like yourself since.
You don't have to keep living in the shadow of what happened.
A different way to work through it.
This focused program uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and, when appropriate, EMDR to help process distressing memories and reduce the emotional and physical reactions connected to them.
Rather than spending months retelling your story, we identify the experiences and triggers that continue to affect your life and work directly with them.
Treatment is individualized, with the goal of helping the past feel like the past—rather than something you're still living through.
What we'll work on
A frightening or traumatic experience can continue to affect your life long after it's over. An accident, medical emergency, assault, or other overwhelming event may leave you feeling unlike yourself, even when you've done everything you can to move forward.
Sometimes the impact is obvious. Other times, it shows up in ways you may not immediately connect to what happened.
Our work may focus on:
Distressing memories that still carry fear, sadness, anger, or other intense emotions.
Triggers that bring back unwanted thoughts, feelings, or physical reactions.
Avoidance of places, situations, or activities that remind you of the experience.
Safety and control, including heightened vigilance, vulnerability, or difficulty trusting yourself.
Lingering emotions such as guilt, shame, helplessness, or anger.
Everyday life, including changes in your sleep, relationships, confidence, or ability to feel present.
You may understand exactly why you're reacting this way and still feel unable to change it. That's where focused treatment can help—by addressing the distress itself, not simply talking about its origins.
The goal isn't to erase what happened.
It's to change how much it affects you now.
What treatment looks like
01
Evaluation · 90 minutes
We begin by identifying what's troubling you, how it's affecting your life, and what you'd like to change. You won't be asked to recount your experience in detail. We'll gather the information needed to determine whether ART is appropriate, identify a treatment target, and prepare for your session.
02
ART Treatment · 2 hours
This dedicated session uses Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to work directly with the distressing memory and its associated emotional and physical responses.
Through guided eye movements, imagery, and a technique called Voluntary Image Replacement, ART helps change how the memory is experienced without erasing what happened.
You don't have to tell your story aloud. You can work with the experience privately, without disclosing its details.
03
Integration & Next Steps · 50 minutes, as needed
We reconnect after your ART session to explore what's changed, assess your response to treatment, and consider how those changes are showing up in everyday life.
We'll also identify whether anything needs further attention and discuss next steps, if appropriate.
