Full Services for Veterans and Active Members

We take a full-circle care approach, supporting veterans and their families from the first consultation through ongoing therapy and treatment. Our goal is to provide the tools, resources, and support needed to reclaim mental well-being and strengthen family connections.

Trauma and PTSD Counseling

Our evidence-based treatments are designed to help individuals process trauma and recover from the psychological effects of PTSD, depression, and anxiety:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Develop healthier coping strategies and reduce symptoms like hypervigilance and emotional numbness.
• Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE): Gradually confront traumatic memories in a safe setting, reducing emotional reactions over time.
• Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): Reframe distorted beliefs like guilt or shame and regain a sense of safety and control.
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Reduce emotional distress from traumatic memories.
• Brainspotting: Address unresolved trauma for relief when other treatments haven’t worked.

Neurofeedback

Available at select locations, this non-invasive technique helps veterans and active military personnel regulate brain activity, reducing symptoms of trauma, anxiety, and hypervigilance.

Medication Review by a Psychiatrist

Personalized evaluations to align medications with your mental health needs for optimized treatment plans.

Support for Veteran Spouses and Families

Living with a veteran dealing with PTSD can be challenging for family members. That’s why we offer:

• Guidance and Care: Support to navigate the challenges of life with a veteran.
• Navigation Assistance: Help accessing mental health benefits and resources available for families.

Psychological Assessments
