Not everyone likes to talk about their thoughts, feelings and past traumas. Luckily, there’s a type of therapy that uses calming eye movements to bring healing and reduces uncomfortable feelings in a natural and out-of-the-box manner. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) can help reduce negative images, sensations, and symptoms. It is an evidence-based therapy that has been proven with research at the University of South Florida and is used extensively with veterans. ART therapy is designed to bring about big changes in a short period of time (https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/). Traditional talk therapy is also available.

Do you compare yourself to others? Do others seem to "have it all together"? Perhaps to the outside world it seems like your living your best life. The truth is that under that seemingly perfect exterior, everything feels painfully hard. Life isn't what you envisioned. You are struggling. Maybe you're experiencing anxiety, sadness, or grief. Life doesn't have to be this way. How would it feel to know that you ARE good enough? What if you were able to quiet that inner critic and be more loving and accepting of yourself? How would it feel to feel safe and secure and to connect with your intuition and heart? All of this is possible.
