What is PTSD?
PTSD can present itself in many forms, such as intrusive memories of traumatic events, heightened anxiety, flashbacks, and struggles with daily life.

At Inner Zen Counseling, we are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment where you can process these experiences at your own pace and work towards healing and recovery.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
At Inner Zen Counseling, one of the primary therapeutic approaches we offer is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART is a groundbreaking, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals process traumatic memories and significantly reduce their emotional impact in a short amount of time.
How ART Works:
ART combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy with a unique method of memory processing. During ART sessions, you'll be guided through techniques that help reframe and reprocess distressing memories. The therapy involves the use of guided imagery and bilateral stimulation, which allows you to safely and effectively process and integrate traumatic experiences.
The key benefits of ART include:
-
Rapid Results: ART is renowned for delivering significant improvements often within just a few sessions, making it a time-efficient approach to trauma therapy.
-
Reduced Emotional Intensity: By diminishing the emotional charge of traumatic memories, ART provides a sense of relief and greater emotional control.
-
Enhanced Coping Skills: ART equips you with practical tools and strategies to manage symptoms and cope with stressors more effectively, empowering you to handle future challenges with confidence.
