Welcome to Wellness Warrior Group — Transformative Trauma Therapy in the Heart of Pittsburgh!

Healing from Within

Wellness Warrior Group is a private practice specializing in trauma through the use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). At WWG, we believe the body holds our experiences, and it is through the mind body connection where healing can occur. WWG seeks to identify root causes of mental health symptoms rather than focusing on symptom management. WWG believes that traumatic experiences are these root causes that drive symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, eating disorders, and more. WWG helps people heal from their past experiences to increase quality life in the present moment.

What is EMDR?

EMDR is an extensively researched and evidenced based type of therapy. While EMDR is a trauma based intervention, it is based on the idea that everyone has trauma, and this trauma is the root cause of many mental health related obstacles. By treating the root cause of the symptoms, people can find peace and healing. When treatment is focused in this way, we allow people to see their symptoms as normal responses to aversive life events rather than symptoms of something being "wrong". EMDR treats the whole individual. In this model, you or your child/adolescent will learn healthy coping and resourcing skills to better manage trauma and mental health symptoms, and will work towards healing the trauma from the inside out.

EMDR can be helpful in treating distressing life events, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Chronic Pain, Addiction, Eating Disorders, and more.

How is EMDR different from other treatments? EMDR is extensively researched and is considered an evidence based treatment. Additionally, EMDR is a "bottom up" approach, meaning that EMDR works from within the body to promote healing from the inside out, similar to how physical wounds heal. Other top down approaches do not incorporate the body into treatment resulting in people remaining stuck in their symptoms. EMDR is designed to bring resolution to unprocessed traumatic memories, which results in symptom reduction and overall improvement in quality of life.
