Wexford is known for its thriving community, excellent schools, and the busy “Wexford Flats” along Route 19. It is a hub of activity in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. For many residents in Pine Township and McCandless, life is full of goals, schedules, and high expectations. While this drive leads to success, it can also lead to hidden struggles. You might feel the weight of perfectionism, the exhaustion of burnout, or the quiet ache of anxiety that never quite goes away.
If you are looking for a place to pause and heal, you do not need to fly across the country. Lenape Wellness offers a premier recovery destination just a scenic drive away in Ford City. We provide a sanctuary where the river’s flow replaces the noise of the highway. Here, you can focus entirely on your mental health in a setting designed for deep, lasting restoration.
A Sanctuary for North Hills Residents
Finding the right mental health care is about more than just finding a therapist. It is about finding an environment where you feel safe enough to be vulnerable. For residents of Wexford, local options often mean visiting a clinical office building or a busy hospital setting. While helpful, these environments can sometimes feel sterile or too close to the stressors of daily life.
Why Choose a Residential Retreat?
Lenape Wellness offers a different path. Our residential program allows you to step out of your routine and into a space of tranquility. Benefits include:
- Separation from Stress: Distance gives you perspective. Being away from work emails and household duties allows your nervous system to reset.
- Holistic Immersion: Treatment is not just one hour a week. It is a 24/7 supportive experience that includes nutrition, nature, and clinical care.
- Privacy: Located in a quiet, private setting, we offer the discretion highly valued by professionals and families in the Wexford area.
We invite you to explore our facility and see why so many from the Greater Pittsburgh region choose us for their recovery journey.
Treating the Whole Person, Not Just the Symptoms
At Lenape Wellness, we do not believe in a “one-size-fits-all” approach to treatment. We know that high-functioning individuals often mask their pain well. You might be excelling in your career or holding your family together while quietly suffering inside. We treat a variety of conditions with nuance and compassion.
Conditions We Treat
- Anxiety Disorders: Whether it is generalized worry, panic attacks, or social anxiety, we help you find calm.
- Depression: We provide a warm, structured environment to help lift the fog of depression and rediscover joy.
- Trauma and PTSD: Using trauma-informed care, we help you process past wounds safely, without re-traumatization.
- Bipolar Disorder: We offer stability and skills to manage mood fluctuations effectively.
Our team sees you as a whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We are here to support your journey back to yourself.
Clinical Excellence Meets Natural Healing
Effective treatment requires a balance of science and nature. We combine top-tier clinical therapies with the healing power of the outdoors. This “East meets West” approach ensures that you have every tool available for your recovery.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our clinicians are trained in proven modalities, including:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Learn to identify and challenge the negative thoughts that drive your emotions.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Master skills for emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): Focus on accepting difficult feelings while committing to actions that align with your values.
Holistic Wellness
We believe that healing happens in the body, not just the brain. Our program includes:
- Holistic Therapy: Integrating practices that support overall well-being.
- Mindfulness and Meditation: Techniques to ground you in the present moment and reduce stress and anxiety (Hoge et al., 2013).
- Yoga: Gentle movement to release physical tension and trauma stored in the body.

The Drive to Serenity
One of the most significant benefits for Wexford residents is our location. Lenape Wellness is situated in Ford City, roughly a 45-minute to 1-hour drive from the Wexford/Cranberry area via Routes 228 and 28. This proximity makes us an ideal choice for families who want to be involved in the healing process through family therapy sessions, while still allowing the individual in treatment to feel truly “away” from home.
The drive itself serves as a transition. As you leave the busy commercial districts behind and enter the rolling hills of Armstrong County, you can begin to let go of the daily grind and prepare for a time of healing.
You do not have to carry the weight of the world alone. Take the short drive from Wexford to a place where you can finally breathe. Contact Lenape Wellness today to begin your journey to lasting peace.
