Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a form of psychotherapy utilizing back-and-forth eye movements (similar to EMDR) that are combined with a technique called Voluntary Memory / Image Replacement.

ART is effective for concerns such as PTSD, Trauma, Phobias, Grief, Depression, Anxiety, and Addictions.

Walking Therapy is based on the idea that people are connected to and impacted by the natural environment. A growing body of research highlights the positive benefits of connecting with nature.  The beneficial effects of nature result not only from what people see but from what they experience through other senses as well.  Many other studies help to demonstrate the positive effects of nature on both physical and mental health.
