VET
Military & Veteran Care
Trauma informed treatment for service members, veterans, and the families who serve alongside them.
As a veteran owned practice, we understand military culture from the inside. Our clinicians treat post traumatic stress, moral injury, combat trauma, and co-occurring substance use with the directness and respect service members expect.
Service members and veterans carry a specific set of experiences into treatment: deployment cycles, unit cohesion, loss, chronic hypervigilance, and the identity shift that comes with leaving the service. Care that does not account for that context tends to stall.
Our clinical approach draws on the treatments with the strongest evidence base for post traumatic stress disorder, including cognitive processing therapy and prolonged exposure principles, delivered at a pace that respects nervous system capacity. Trauma work is paced, not rushed, and stabilization comes first.
Moral injury gets explicit attention here. Guilt, shame, and betrayal related distress respond to different clinical work than fear based trauma, and treating them interchangeably is a common reason veterans conclude that therapy does not work for them.
Substance use is addressed at the same time as trauma, never as a prerequisite. Sequencing trauma treatment behind sobriety milestones is a dated model that leaves too many veterans cycling between programs.

Questions about military & veteran care
Do I need a VA referral to be seen here?
No referral is required to contact us. If you receive care through the VA or a military treatment facility, our admissions team can help coordinate with your existing providers so the plans work together rather than against each other.
Will treatment affect my security clearance or career?
Seeking mental health care is, in the large majority of cases, not disqualifying, and current guidance encourages service members to get help. We cannot give legal advice, but we can document care accurately and discuss what disclosure typically involves.
Do you treat military spouses and family members?
Yes. Military families absorb a great deal of the strain of service. Spouses and adult family members can be seen for their own care and are included in family programming with the service member's consent.
What if I have been through treatment before and it did not help?
That is common, and it is worth understanding why. Often the previous work did not address moral injury, treated substance use and trauma separately, or moved into exposure work before stabilization. We start by understanding what has already been tried.
