FAQ
Questions, answered.
Do I have to talk about the trauma in detail?
No. ART in particular is designed so you can process distressing memories without narrating every detail. You stay in control of what you share and when.
What is ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)?
ART is an evidence-based therapy that uses eye movements to help the brain reprocess distressing memories and images — often in fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy. Mike Kiltgaard is trained in ART.
Do you offer EMDR in Bountiful?
Yes. Garrett Cimino is EMDR Level II trained (EMDRIA, 2013) and has 17 years of clinical experience.
Is the first session really free?
