Therapists Collaboration

Overview of the Collaboration: As a therapist, you may occasionally encounter clients who feel stuck on a particular issue despite your best efforts. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can serve as a targeted, short-term intervention to help clients move past these barriers, empowering them to continue progressing in their overall treatment. 

​

Let's work together through 5 focused ART sessions. After these sessions, the clients will have made significant progress on the barriers holding them back. This partnership allows you to provide an additional resource for your clients while ensuring continuity in their long-term treatment plan. 

 

Why ART? ART is an evidence-based, fast, and effective therapy that resolves specific challenges in as few as 1-5 sessions. It is particularly beneficial for: 

• Trauma and PTSD 

• Anxiety and panic disorders 

• Persistent cognitive distortions 

• Phobias 

• Relationship challenges stemming from past events 

 

The ART process is non-invasive and does not require clients to share every detail of their experiences. Instead, it works by helping clients reprocess distressing memories through guided eye movements, replacing negative emotional responses with more positive or neutral feelings. 

 

How This Collaboration Benefits You and Your Clients: 

1. Enhanced Client Progress: ART can unblock emotional and mental barriers, allowing clients to return to your care with a renewed ability to engage in deeper therapeutic work. 

1. Complementary Service: You remain the primary therapist while I act as a temporary specialist, addressing the specific issue causing stagnation. 

1. Trust and Continuity: Clients appreciate the seamless teamwork between their therapists, knowing their primary care remains with you. 

1. Time-Efficient Results: In just 5 sessions or fewer, clients often experience transformative changes that accelerate their overall treatment progress. 

 

Real-Life Examples of Client Success: 

• Case 1: Persistent Anxiety: A client struggling with debilitating anxiety could not address underlying self-esteem issues in their primary therapy sessions. After 3 ART sessions, they reported a dramatic reduction in their anxiety symptoms, allowing them to focus more effectively on self-development with their primary therapist. 

• Case 2: Relationship Challenges: One client continually sabotaged their relationships due to unresolved childhood trauma. With 4 ART sessions, they reframed their traumatic memories and began building healthier connections. The primary therapist noted a significant improvement in their ability to engage in couples therapy. 

• Case 3: Phobia of Public Speaking: A professional client avoided career advancement due to a fear of public speaking. After 2 ART sessions, their phobia was resolved, enabling them to work on leadership skills in their regular therapy. 

 

How the Process Works: 

1. Referral: You identify a client who might benefit from ART and refer them to my practice. 

1. Initial Consultation: I will meet with the client to confirm ART is suitable for their specific issue. 

1. Focused ART Sessions: Over 1-5 sessions, we will address the targeted concern. 

1. Seamless Transition: After completing ART, the client will return to your care with progress documented and shared, respecting client confidentiality.
