Pittsburgh father Steven D’Achille lost his 30-year-old wife, Alexis, six weeks after she gave birth to their daughter, Adriana. Following a traumatic delivery, Alexis developed postpartum depression, PTSD, severe anxiety and eventually psychosis.

Steven said his family struggled to find appropriate psychiatric care for her. After her death, he founded the Alexis Joy D’Achille Foundation and partnered with Allegheny Health Network (AHN) to improve mental health care for pregnant women and new mothers.

That work helped create the Alexis Joy D’Achille Center for Perinatal Mental Health at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The 7,300-square-foot center provides a specialized mother-baby intensive outpatient program where women can receive psychiatric care, therapy and medication management while bringing their babies with them, helping prevent separation and support mother-baby bonding.

The center also provides group therapy, infant massage, baby wearing, yoga, meditation and art therapy.

Trauma can change your brain in ways that keep you stuck in survival mode: hypervigilance, anxiety, emotional flashbacks.

But there's good news: the brain is also capable of healing and change.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) helps make that possible. By targeting negative images and negative sensations which calm the amygdala, and using your brain's own process of memory reconsolidation, ART may help the facts remain while the emotional charge dissolves. New, safe imagery replaces old fears. Overthinking quiets down. Your nervous system learns what it feels like to settle. Reconsolidation means the brain can interrupt negative thoughts and behaviors so new, positive perspectives take the focus.

Your story stays the same. What changes is how your brain and body carry it, until resilience feels natural instead of forced.

Something exciting for our community!!!

Big things are coming to Beaver Avenue! 🏗️✨
We are excited to officially introduce the Western PA Foundation For The Arts (WPFA) to the Ellwood City community. Our home at 930 Beaver Ave is currently undergoing a major $2.5 million renovation to become a true sanctuary for our neighbors.
This building will be more than just an art gallery and classrooms. It will also be the future headquarters for Helping Hearts Ministries, our outreach program dedicated to serving those in need.
What’s coming to 930 Beaver?
🎨 Arts & Education: Local galleries and creative learning spaces.
📚 Early Literacy: The home of the "Big World" book series to support our kids.
🥣 Community Support: A future soup kitchen and food pantry run by Helping Hearts.
🏠 Stability: Transitional apartments on the upper floors for those needing a bridge to a better future.
We aren't open for services just yet as the dust is still flying, but we wanted to share the blueprint with you. We believe in the future of Ellwood City, and we can’t wait to build it together.
Follow our page for weekly renovation updates and a behind-the-scenes look at the progress! >
