Accelerated Resolution Therapy in Troy, MI
When the memory is over,
but the feeling isn’t.
You may know that a painful experience is in the past and still feel pulled back into it. A reminder, an image, or a familiar situation can bring the feelings rushing in again.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) offers a structured way to work with distressing memories and images. We’ll start by understanding what you’re experiencing and whether this approach feels right for you.
Individual therapy with Kelley Yell · Troy, Michigan
Understanding the approach
What is ART?
Accelerated Resolution Therapy combines guided eye movements with imagery-based techniques. You work with a distressing memory or image and, with guidance, develop imagery of your own choosing. The aim is to reduce the emotional and physical distress associated with it.
You don’t have to describe every detail of what happened. We’ll discuss what you need to share, explain the process, and make space for questions before beginning.
Memories that feel close
A past experience keeps showing up in your thoughts or feels difficult to leave behind. You want support with what it brings up today.
Reminders that hit hard
A place, conversation, or situation brings a strong reaction. You want to understand that response and explore ways to feel less overwhelmed.
Room to move forward
You’re ready to explore another way of working with a painful experience, with guidance and a clear explanation of each step.
We’ll assess your needs together. The number of sessions and your response to treatment will vary.
Before, during, and after
A clear process.
Space for your questions.
Start with an assessment
We’ll discuss what brings you in, relevant history, your current support, and what you hope to change. Together, we’ll consider whether ART is appropriate for your needs.
Understand what comes next
I’ll explain the approach and answer your questions. We’ll discuss consent, comfort, and how to communicate if you need a pause.
Work with guided support
If we proceed, I’ll guide you through eye movements and imagery work. You can ask questions and tell me what you’re noticing along the way.
Check in and plan ahead
We’ll leave time to discuss how you’re feeling, any support you may need afterward, and whether additional sessions or another approach would be helpful.
Session investment
Know what to expect before you begin.
New clients complete an intake assessment alongside their first ART session. We’ll confirm the scheduling and fees before booking.
Intake + first ART session
Includes the intake assessment and first ART session. Approximately 60–90 minutes combined, scheduled back-to-back or on separate days.
Additional ART sessions
Per additional session, approximately 60–90 minutes. We’ll discuss next steps based on your needs and how the work is progressing.
Private pay. Current clients can ask about available add-on session rates.
Meet your therapist
Hi, I’m Kelley.
I bring warmth, honesty, and a practical approach to therapy. I have training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy and care about helping you understand your options without feeling rushed into a particular treatment.
You’re welcome to ask questions, tell me what feels uncomfortable, and talk about what you need from our work. We’ll begin there.
A few things you may be wondering
Questions about ART.
Do I have to tell you every detail?
No. ART can involve working with memories or images without describing them in detail out loud. We’ll still discuss enough about your concerns and history to assess your needs and plan care.
Is ART the same as art therapy?
No. Here, ART stands for Accelerated Resolution Therapy. It uses guided eye movements and imagery rather than drawing or painting.
Will ART make me forget what happened?
The goal is to reduce distress associated with the experience, rather than erase your knowledge of the event.
How many sessions will I need?
That depends on your needs and response. We’ll discuss an initial plan, check in as we go, and adjust it together. A particular outcome or number of sessions cannot be guaranteed.
Can ART help with ADHD?
ART is not a treatment for the core symptoms of ADHD. If ADHD is part of your experience, we can discuss whether there is a particular distressing memory or concern you want to work on, alongside any other support you need.
Can I ask about ART if I’m already in therapy?
Yes. Tell me about your current care when you reach out. We can discuss whether additional ART work makes sense and, with your permission, whether coordination with your therapist would be helpful.
How do I request an appointment?
Use the contact form and mention that you’re interested in Accelerated Resolution Therapy. We’ll discuss your questions, availability, appointment format, and next steps before scheduling.
