The pursuit of perfection, though elusive, consumes our energy as we strive to meet undefined standards. Fueled by the fear of not being enough, we carry the heavy shield of perfectionism, hoping it shields us from judgment. However, true courage lies in dropping this shield, acknowledging imperfections, and embracing the journey from "What will people think?" to "I am enough." To live authentically, we must practice courage, compassion, and understanding, taking the brave step of owning our stories and living our truth. It's a journey toward worthiness, where letting go of perfection becomes the bravest act of all.

As a Navy veteran, I love supporting other veterans on their journey.
Hi, I’m Shiloh. I’m a native Texan, Navy veteran, and explorer at heart who feels deeply called to the work of healing and growth. I work with adults who feel disconnected from themselves, unsure of their voice, or stuck in patterns that leave them feeling small or powerless. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside but carry the quiet weight of trauma, anxiety, or self-doubt internally. If you struggle with people-pleasing, weak boundaries, or a constant sense of second-guessing yourself, you are not alone.

Veterans Therapists
Why is mental health important for veterans and the military?
Veterans are more likely to face mental health challenges than the general public, and such mental health challenges can make it difficult for them to navigate day-to-day life. Improved mental health can result in better interpersonal relationships, lower levels of stress, and decreased dependence on substances, such as drugs or alcohol, for many veterans. Addressing common mental health conditions can also help facilitate recovery from physical health challenges that are faced by many veterans, such as chronic pain, physical injury, or poor sleeping patterns. Therapists trained in working with veterans can help address these concerns and help improve veteran mental health.
How can veterans get access to mental health support?
There are many resources for veterans to get mental health support, including through the VA or through their primary care doctor. Many service personnel are eligible for free or reduced-cost mental health counseling through the VA, depending on their service history and current income. Veterans can also utilize online directories, such as Psychology Today, or nonprofit organization resources like the Wounded Warrior Project, to find a therapist or other healthcare professional that specializes in their specific mental health needs. Veterans may also benefit from community-based groups that facilitate social connection and/or address specific concerns, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
What type of therapy is best for veterans?
Veterans may benefit from multiple types of therapy, depending on what mental health challenges they are facing. Veterans seeking therapy for anxiety or depression may benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which encourage clients to understand how their thought patterns influence their behavior. Veterans with PTSD may seek other more specialized forms of therapy to treat trauma symptoms, such as EMDR or exposure therapy. Many veterans and military personnel may also benefit from family or couples counseling to address the stress and adjustment challenges that can be associated with military life.
Can therapy for veterans help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in helping veterans with trauma and PTSD. Therapists specializing in veteran mental health often have extensive training and experience helping veterans navigate symptoms of trauma and can teach clients coping techniques to handle common symptoms associated with trauma and PTSD. Some therapists may use talk therapy as their primary approach, while others utilize more structured therapy modalities in sessions, such as EMDR. Veterans can try multiple therapy modalities to find the best fit for them. Therapists can also help make referrals or connect clients with available resources, such as VA benefits, to help address other life concerns.
