⚡ Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) for Teenagers in Orlando

Fast, Gentle Trauma Relief for Teens Struggling with Anxiety, Depression, or PTSD

Teen life can be overwhelming—especially after trauma, grief, or prolonged stress. Whether your teen is dealing with panic attacks, flashbacks, nightmares, or emotional numbness, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offers a unique and effective approach to healing—often with relief in just a few sessions.

At The Counseling Corner, we specialize in ART for teenagers—providing trauma-informed, emotionally safe care that meets teens where they are. Since 1998, we've supported adolescents across Central Florida through powerful and effective therapy that doesn’t rely on long verbal processing to create real change.

🧠 What Is ART?

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a modern, fast-acting form of psychotherapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing experiences. Using gentle eye movements and guided imagery, ART helps your teen “file away” painful memories and replace them with calming, empowering images—without reliving the trauma in detail.

Think of it as clearing the emotional charge behind memories, not erasing them—so your teen can move forward feeling lighter, calmer, and more in control.

⚡ Why Teens & Families Choose ART

  • Fast relief: Many teens feel significant improvement within 1–5 sessions

  • Emotionally safe: No need to talk in detail about the trauma

  • Empowering: Teens actively guide the imagery and choose new ways to experience the memory

  • Evidence-based: Integrates elements of CBT, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, and Guided Imagery

  • Flexible & adaptable: Tailored to the teen’s emotional readiness and comfort

🌱 What ART Can Help With

ART is highly effective for teens dealing with:

  • PTSD and trauma (e.g., abuse, bullying, accidents, violence)

  • Anxiety and panic attacks

  • Intrusive thoughts or disturbing mental images

  • Grief and complicated loss

  • Depression linked to unresolved trauma

  • Nightmares, flashbacks, or hypervigilance

🔍 What a Teen ART Session Looks Like

  1. Your teen identifies a troubling memory or emotional experience

  2. The therapist guides them through calming eye movements

  3. Using visualization, your teen replaces the disturbing imagery with something safe and empowering

  4. Over time, the emotional weight of the memory diminishes—often significantly

The best part? Your teen stays in control the entire time. We don’t force details, rush the process, or “dig up” trauma. Instead, we help their brain do what it’s designed to do—heal.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What Parents Need to Know

1. ART is gentle—but powerful.
Teens often resist talk therapy because they don’t want to “rehash” their pain. ART helps them feel better without needing to share every detail out loud.

2. It works fast.
While no therapy is magic, ART is one of the few approaches that can deliver noticeable relief in just a few sessions—especially helpful for teens who are discouraged or overwhelmed.

3. Your teen is still in charge.
ART empowers your teen to set boundaries, stay emotionally safe, and guide their own healing with the support of a trained therapist.

4. We’ll keep you informed and involved.
With your teen’s consent, we offer parent check-ins, safety planning (when needed), and collaborative support to help you reinforce healing at home.

5. Not all trauma is obvious.
Teens may struggle with events you never realized were traumatic—like bullying, a medical emergency, or a divorce. ART helps process any emotional pain that feels stuck or unresolved.
