Healing Trauma with EMDR & Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)

We specialize in evidence-based trauma therapies designed to create lasting change. Whether you're a first responder, a fellow therapist, a veteran, or someone navigating the impacts of complex trauma, you're not alone—and healing is possible.

What is EMDR?

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful, structured therapy developed to help individuals process and heal from disturbing life experiences. It uses bilateral stimulation (often through guided eye movements) to help your brain reprocess traumatic memories in a way that no longer feels distressing.

We use EMDR to help clients:

  • Reduce emotional intensity tied to past events

  • Resolve triggers that affect daily life

  • Shift negative self-beliefs rooted in trauma

EMDR is especially effective for:

  • First responders exposed to repeated critical incidents

  • Therapists carrying vicarious trauma

  • Veterans and service members managing combat-related PTSD

  • Survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse

  • Individuals living with complex PTSD (c-PTSD)

What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)? (Available starting October 2025)

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a fast-acting, trauma-focused therapy that uses eye movements and guided visualization to help your brain reframe traumatic memories. Unlike traditional talk therapy, ART is designed to achieve results in fewer sessions—often within 1 to 5.

What makes ART unique?

  • You don’t have to talk about the trauma in detail

  • It’s structured to quickly reduce emotional and physiological distress

  • It helps your brain “rewrite” how distressing memories are stored

ART will be available beginning October 2025, and will be offered virtually for:

  • First responders and frontline professionals

  • Veterans and active-duty service members

  • Therapists experiencing compassion fatigue or burnout

  • Adults with long-standing trauma and emotional overwhelm

Continuing Care with Your Current Therapist

We deeply value the therapeutic relationships our clients already have. Both EMDR and ART can be integrated as short-term, focused treatments that complement ongoing therapy.

If you’re currently working with a trusted therapist, you can continue seeing them while completing EMDR or ART at TraumaWise Healing. We’re happy to collaborate—with your consent—to ensure continuity of care, alignment in goals, and a smooth reintegration of insights into your ongoing therapeutic work.

Our role is to provide targeted trauma processing so you can return to your existing support system with greater clarity, stability, and relief.

Why These Approaches Work

Both EMDR and ART are grounded in neuroscience and leverage the brain’s natural capacity to heal. They are especially powerful for:

  • Addressing trauma without prolonged exposure

  • Reducing body-based symptoms of anxiety, fear, and anger

  • Promoting emotional regulation and resilience
