Kathy Long is a Christian Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Clinical Assistant to Laney Rosenzweig, and Trainer of Trainers for Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Her faith is very important to her and she believes this is the position God has for her to serve Him best. Following His direction, she attended St. Petersburg College and the University of South Florida earning a master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. In 2010, Long was trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART) at the University of South Florida to study its effectiveness on trauma symptoms. She became a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional in 2011 and has treated countless military, veteran, and civilian clients dealing with the effects of trauma. She feels honored to have been a part of a group of clinicians as they studied ART and its impressive ability to alleviate the negative effects of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complicated Grief. She has also participated in educating other clinicians in this approach at several Army bases such as Fort Belvoir, Fort Hood, Fort Drum, Fort Stewart, and Walter Reed. In 2017, Long became a Trainer in ART and has trained clinicians across the disciplines in the Basic and Advanced levels of the protocol. In 2025, Long traveled to Kenya with 3 assistants to train 24 clinicians in partnership with Yale to study ART in people with HIV. In 2020 the creator of ART, Laney Rosenzweig, asked Long to assist her by training the new trainers for the Basic level. She is now the Clinical assistant to Laney and has trained the majority of the ART trainers currently in practice. In her private practice, True Light Counseling in Tampa, Florida, Long works with civilians and veterans and their families addressing issues of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
