Accelerated Resolution Therapy & Integrative Psychotherapy for High-Functioning Adults in Florida

When painful memories, chronic stress, or trauma is making you sick or keep your nervous system on high alert, standard talk therapy isn't always enough. Combining 25+ years of clinical experience with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), I help you reprocess distressing experiences quickly and gently so you can achieve lasting nervous system regulation and begin to move forward in your life.

I’m Carey Sempert, LMHC.

I help high-functioning adults who often look just fine on the outside, but who actually feel exhausted, dysregulated, stuck, or overwhelmed inside. Clients come to me when "pushing through" stops working or traditional therapy or healthcare has fallen short.

My specialization is in integrative mental health, an approach shaped by my clinical experience and my own search for answers to health challenges outside the traditional healthcare system. I know firsthand how frustrating it is to navigate siloed care and fight for actual healing rather than settling for basic symptom management and disease progression. I gladly work alongside your existing healthcare team, or help you connect with trusted functional medicine or psychiatric providers if you need them.

By pairing Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) with integrative psychotherapy, I help you address the deep connections between emotional trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation. Whether you are dealing with trauma, grief, life transitions, or complex health issues, we work together to clear the underlying distress so your mind and body can begin to heal and you can build a life beyond survival mode.

    Reprocessing

    ART helps eliminate the emotional intensity of painful, traumatic memories so they no longer have the power to trigger or dysregulate you.  You can finally feel safe and calm.

    Regulation

    Chronic stress and trauma leave your body on high alert, often showing up as fatigue, sleep disruption, or illness. With an integrative mental health approach, we address the root connections between emotional stress and physical symptoms.

    Rebuilding

    Symptom relief is the entry point, not the finish line. Once your nervous system calms down, we focus on integration—helping you update old survival habits, strengthen boundaries, and build a life and identity that fit who you are today.

    Accelerated Resolution Therapy

    Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is a fast, gentle, effective, and evidence-based. It helps the brain reprocess distressing memories and experiences without requiring a detailed retelling of what happened.

    Clients often come to ART when they feel stuck in trauma, grief, indecision, anxiety, or old pain they can't overcome. Many have already tried traditional talk therapy or other treatments and didn’t get the relief they hoped for, or found that talking about the trauma made them feel worse.

    Accelerated Resolution Therapy is different. It’s fast, gentle, and doesn’t require you to talk through the upsetting or painful details. ART helps remove the emotional charge around distressing memories so you can remember what happened without feeling pulled back into it. Imagine being able to recall the facts of what happened while feeling calm and detached. With ART, that's the kind of relief you can expect.

Quick Facts about ART

  • No retelling of painful, triggering details required

  • Significant relief, often in just one or two ART sessions

  • Helpful for trauma, grief, making difficult decisions, and getting unstuck

  • Can be used on its own or alongside talk therapy
