It gets hard feeling like no one really understands you or can relate to the things that you are dealing with. Everyday you put on a strong face and hope that someone really cares how you are doing. Do you really tell them and do they really want to know? Are they going to judge me? You were told to be strong, not to cry, don't show emotion, because you don't want to appear weak. You may have even been told that you shouldn't act a certain way because of how it will appear to others. You have avoided reaching out for help because people may think you are "crazy" but I want to tell you that you are not alone.

We will all experience depression, anxiety, stress and trauma at different chapters of our lives. Occasionally everyone needs a professional counselor to talk out our problems and find real solutions for real problems. You have already made a big step by considering counseling; now make the next step by calling a licensed therapist. It is time to start the healing process at your own pace with a therapist's professional and confidential support. The best practice is to choose a therapist who has the clinical expertise as well as the real-life experiences who can relate to you on a personal level.

The simple truth is that being human presents us with some significant challenges, some of which are unavoidable. No one is going to escape sickness, aging, and death. However, the amount of suffering we experience depends mainly on our ability to process them. It's not just talking about your problems and feelings. My aim here is to work together as a team, to help you be the sort of person you want to be and build the kind of life you want to live. Part of this approach involves learning skills to handle stressful thoughts and feelings more effectively so they have less impact and influence over you.

Your life may look perfect on the surface—a successful career, a beautiful home, a seemingly ideal relationship—but underneath, there’s a deeper truth. You’ve become a master at hiding your struggles, forcing yourself to keep up appearances. But this comes at a cost: you’ve lost touch with your true self, and life has started to feel like an endless cycle of just getting by. Behind the smiles, there’s a lack of purpose in your career, overwhelming family obligations, and a fading connection in your relationships. You’re grieving the person you used to be, while resenting the person you’ve had to become.

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.
