Accelerated Therapy Intensives



Are you ready to be transformed? Are you looking for rapid change within a short period of time? We offer intensive therapy within 2, 3, or 4 days for you to see quick changes in a short period of time. We get it. Coming to weekly therapy sessions is not always feasible. Our intensive therapy sessions allows you to travel from out of town, province or country to start living the life you want. We also offer our intensives virtually within the comfort of your home as long as you are in Alberta. 

The type of therapy that we have found to be effective for our intensives is called Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions). The client is always in control of the entire ART session, with the therapist guiding the process. Accelerated Resolution Therapy incorporates a combination of techniques used in many other traditional psychotherapies including bilateral stimulation and voluntary image replacement to change the way the brain stores distressing images and sensations.
