ART ≠ Art Therapy

Despite the name, ART is not art therapy. 🎨

ART stands for Accelerated Resolution Therapy.

ART is a client-centered therapy approach that focuses on images and sensations and can include voluntary image replacement.

Another important part of the approach: the client remains in control of the process and does not need to describe every detail of an experience to the counselor.

There are many different ways therapy can support people healing from difficult experiences. ART is one of the approaches available within trauma-focused counseling.

💜 One more Purple Tuesday — but the support doesn’t end with October.

Throughout Domestic Violence Awareness Month, our team has worn purple each Tuesday to help bring attention to domestic and interpersonal violence and to stand in support of survivors.

Awareness matters. So does what happens after the awareness month ends.
Listening without judgment, learning more about the complexity of abuse, and helping people connect with support are things our community can continue doing all year long.

Healing Hearts also continues beyond October.

Facilitated by McKenzi Cook, the group meets Tuesdays from 4:00–5:00 PM and offers a safe support space for survivors seeking a place to process, heal, and move forward.

Ask the Stein front desk to learn more or call 608-785-7000 ext. 2003. 💜

🎉 Happy 3rd Work Anniversary, Abbie! 💜

Today we’re celebrating three years of Abbie at Stein Counseling!

Over the past three years, Abbie has worn many hats — supporting the team as an Office Assistant, working with Family and Community Services, completing her time as an intern, and now continuing her work at Stein as an APSW. 🌟

It has been so exciting to watch her grow, take on new challenges, and continue finding new ways to support the individuals and families we serve.

Abbie, thank you for everything you’ve brought to Stein over the past three years.

We’re so glad you’re part of the team and excited to see what comes next! 🥳

Please help us wish Abbie a very happy 3rd work anniversary!

It can be difficult to know what to say when someone tells you they are experiencing abuse or do not feel safe in a relationship.

You do not have to solve everything for them.

Sometimes support starts with:

💜 Listening without judgment
💜 Believing what they share
💜 Avoiding blame
💜 Respecting their choices and pace
💜 Asking what kind of support they want
💜 Helping them connect with appropriate resources when they are ready

Simple words can matter:

“I believe you.”
“You deserve to feel safe.”
“I’m here to listen.”

Support does not require having the perfect response. It starts with compassion.

This October, we’re highlighting one of the trauma-focused approaches used at Stein: Accelerated Resolution Therapy, commonly called ART.

ART is a client-centered approach in which the client remains in control of the session.

The process focuses on images and sensations and may use voluntary image replacement as part of the therapeutic work. Stein’s materials describe ART as being process-oriented rather than content-oriented, which means a person does not have to share every detail of an experience with the counselor.

ART may be used when working with concerns including post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, and other concerns when clinically appropriate.

Different people and situations may call for different therapeutic approaches. A counselor can help determine what may be an appropriate fit.

💜 Today, purple is more than a color.

For Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the Stein team is wearing purple each Tuesday as a visible reminder that experiences of abuse deserve to be taken seriously — and that survivors deserve compassion, dignity, and support.

Domestic and interpersonal violence can be complicated. Healing can be complicated, too.

At Stein, Healing Hearts provides a space for survivors seeking support as they process their experiences and move forward at their own pace.

When someone is in an unsafe or controlling relationship, leaving may look simple from the outside.

For the person experiencing it, the situation may involve fear, finances, housing, children, isolation, emotional attachment, safety concerns, uncertainty, or many things happening at the same time.

That is why asking, “Why don’t they just leave?” may miss the complexity of what someone is facing.

A more supportive question might be:

💜 “How can I support you?”
💜 “What would help you feel safer?”
💜 “Do you want me to listen, or help you think through options?”

People deserve support without judgment or pressure.

Sometimes walking toward complexity means recognizing that there may not be one simple answer.

🩷💙 Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day 🩷💙

Some lives are held in our arms for only a moment, and some are held only in our hearts. But every life matters, and every loss deserves to be acknowledged. 🕊️

Today, we hold space for the parents, families, and loved ones who carry the grief of a baby gone too soon.

For the little ones whose names are spoken often, and those whose names are whispered quietly. For the milestones that never came, the dreams that were left unfinished, and the love that continues even after loss.

Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and there is no right or wrong way to remember, to mourn, or to heal.

At Stein Counseling, we want you to know that your grief matters. Your love matters. And you deserve compassion and support, wherever you are in your journey. 💕

Today, and every day, we remember the little lives that left a lasting imprint on so many hearts. 🦋
