Offering EMDR and equine healing for trauma, eating disorders, and relationship wounds

We’re glad you’re here

Starting therapy takes courage. At Whole Hearted Healing, we center safety, connection, and respect for every part of you.

We are a queer-founded, fat-inclusive, anti-diet group practice.

Clinicians at Whole Hearted Healing offer virtual therapy across Pennsylvania. Equine therapy and equine-connected EMDR sessions and intensives take place in Golden, Colorado.

In-network with Aetna, Highmark BCBS, Cigna, and UPMC, and Optum/United Healthcare for PA residents.

Your curiosity is a powerful beginning, and it has led you here.

You have found your way here, and we are honored to walk beside you. Healing is a path we navigate together-and we’re with you every step.

Healing is not a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why we offer a range of modalities to support your unique path home to wholeness:

  • EMDR therapy- to gently process trauma and reduce stress

  • Attachment-based therapy- for healing relationship wounds

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)- honoring all of your inner parts

  • Somatic Experiencing- reconnecting with your body and nervous system

  • Anti-Diet approach to eating disorders- rooted in respect and freedom

  • Equine Assisted Psychotherapy- through the Natural Lifemanship model

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns to create lasting changes in mood and behavior.

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Integrating acceptance and change strategies while building skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships.
