Best Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Providers in San Antonio (2026)
San Antonio clinicians who describe Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) on their own websites, and what the evidence shows about ART.
Disclosure: this guide is published by The Denning Center, and Jim Denning, MA, LPC, is listed first because it is his practice's website. That placement is not a claim that he is more skilled or more effective than anyone else here. The other practices were chosen using the criteria below; none of them paid to be included, and none reviewed this page.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an eye-movement therapy developed in 2008. Like EMDR, it uses sets of eye movements while you hold a memory in mind. It also adds "voluntary image replacement", where you change the distressing images the memory has left you with, and it does not require you to describe the event out loud in detail. It is often delivered in fewer sessions than other trauma therapies, although how many anyone needs varies.
The honest caveat is that ART's research base is smaller and newer than the research behind CPT, prolonged exposure or EMDR, and much of it comes from military and veteran samples. The VA/DoD's 2023 PTSD guideline rates the evidence as insufficient to recommend for or against it, and a 2024 systematic review found it "shows some promise" but called for more high-quality studies. Many people choose it because it asks for less spoken detail. Knowing where the evidence stands is part of choosing well.
