Veterans Therapists in Centerville, OH
Part of "being in the solution" when times are difficult is what you are doing right now: looking for answers and the support to find them. Everyone is challenged by life events. The path to self-awareness and personal growth is not an easy one. I accompany my clients as they discover their potential and deal with the barriers that prevent them from reaching it. My approach is holistic, meaning that I pay attention to all aspects of a person's experience including their physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual well being.

I launched my practice - Grace Endures Psychotherapy in 2025 & have over 20 years experience supporting children, teens, and adults in private and nonprofit organizations, tribal communities, social service and military systems.
I support high-achieving adults and professionals who appear 'fine', while continuing to perform with integrity despite personal sacrifices. If this sounds familiar, you may realize that the same traits that helped you succeed now leave you depleted, disconnected, or conflicted between your roles and deepest values. You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but the constant stress and anxiety are wearing you down. You deserve to feel grounded, balanced, and at peace again. Meaningful success doesn’t have to come at the expense of your health, relationships, or integrity.

I work with PTSD for Veterans, chronic illness, and grief and loss.
I know finding a good fit for a therapist is hard. And finding a good fit is critical to finding relief and healing. Feeling alone in the trauma, the grief and loss, the overwhelm, and just feeling stuck. It's exhausting, lonely, and I know you're sick of it by now. You get to have some guidance, laughs, and expertise as you go to your sessions, work on YOU outside of sessions, and start feeling more whole again. As for working with me and what it's like? I've been told I'm warm and humorous (usually at my own expense). I see you as the expert and me as the guide, and I will put you at ease right off the bat.

My background also includes military service, the creative arts, and my work as a counselor educator at the University of Dayton.
Thank you for reaching out. If you’re moving through a life transition, I may be able to help. We all get stuck at times as we work to grow our sense of self, relationships, and lifestyle. With over 25 years of counseling experience, I strive to honor each person’s unique story while encouraging responsibility and authentic living. I am also certified in Somatic Interventions, yoga instruction, and Ecotherapy. I completed a Feb–July 2025 thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, applying many of these principles to my own journey. I currently offer telebehavioral health sessions and look forward to supporting you however I can.

Ideal clients are those that are the ages of 13 - 77; I want these ranges because I feel I can best help them with their issues and needs which for me so far it has been about changing some aspect of themselves that they are having issues with dealing. From the limited exposure the goals are dependent on the client and what they want at the time, I have also learned that being flexible and fluid is the best way to help clients.

I am a therapist who works primarily with adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, social challenges, and identity development. My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and developmentally sensitive, with a strong emphasis on helping clients feel safe, understood, and respected in the therapy space.
I believe therapy works best when clients are met where they are, not where they are “supposed” to be. I focus on building genuine rapport and trust, often using creative, conversational, and experiential strategies—such as shared interests, and narrative exploration to reduce anxiety.

My ideal clients are people who feel stuck under the weight of stress, anxiety, grief, or trauma—whether the pain is recent or something they’ve carried for years. Many are high-functioning on the outside but internally feel depleted, on edge, or emotionally disconnected. They’re ready for practical, evidence-informed tools to calm the nervous system, make sense of what happened, and shift patterns that keep showing up in relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we work toward lasting change: greater clarity, steadier confidence, and a more grounded, integrated way of living.

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.
