Veterans/Military Service

I am a fourth-generation combat veteran who served as an enlisted service member, officer, infantry, and administrator. I deployed during Operation Enduring Freedom, and I served at our Nation's capital. Tell me your story and let's figure out the way to accomplish the mission.

As a retired Army veteran, I understand the importance of facing challenges and embracing change. I offer unbiased insights, clear communication, and honest feedback to help you explore and create a new path to personal fulfillment.

I love working with high performing veterans and their spouses, particularly female veterans and people in dual military couples. We work to heal the wounds of war (or service in general but I loved the alliteration of the former phrasing) as well as looking at the ways in which military service is still shaping life choices and experiences. As a long time mil-spouse, I have personal experience with military culture.

People have said that you might have PTSD, but what does that even mean? You've lived through some difficult events, but plenty of other people have been through worse. You worry that PTSD means that you are crazy, and you don't want people to treat you differently. You're concerned that being labeled with PTSD will have negative consequences, and that has stopped you from asking for help. If you and/or your partner may be experiencing PTSD- it is possible to heal from the past.

My military background includes 5 years of acuity duty and 6 years of reserve service. I was stationed overseas and have served in both special operations and conventional forces. My hope is that fellow veterans and their families who are hesitant to consider therapy will feel more inclined to reach out for help knowing that the person sitting across from them has also experienced some of the unique challenges associated with military service.

Even though military spouses are some of the most adaptable and resilient people on the planet, the constant state of change can take a toll on anyone. The worry for your spouse’s safety, the challenges with childcare, the never-ending list of things to do as a solo parent, uncertain deployment dates, and frequent moves can be overwhelming. The constant stress can cause you to feel exhausted, aimless, resentful, and alone.

I have over twelve years of experiencing working with Veterans at VA hospitals and clinics.

Although I've always had respect for military members, I gained comprehensive understanding of military life in my work as a military psychologist contractor /GS employee, VA C & P evaluator and intern, and now as a military spouse. I've worked for 10 years with enlisted and officers from all branches of service on 3 installations from AF, Navy, and Space Force and vets. Now I'm living the spouse life from HHG fun to Balls and 6 month TDYs. Get support from someone who understands.

Retired disabled combat veteran with over 20 years experience within the military community.

I have meaningful experience working with veterans and military service members, addressing challenges like PTSD, anxiety, and reintegration stress. I use trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, mindfulness, and grounding techniques to support healing and resilience. My practice emphasizes understanding the unique experiences of military life, fostering a safe space to process emotions, rebuild trust, and navigate the transition to civilian life with confidence and purpose.

I have extensive experience in supporting military veterans adjust to civilian life. It would be my honor to support you in helping you identify your new mission and make a plan for reaching your goals. I will help you discover how your military values and skills translate to civilian life. I can also assist you with coping with PTSD symptoms in hopes of increasing your level of functioning.

21 years active-duty Army service followed by 2 years as a provider in the VA

As a child of a military service member and a military wife, working with veterans is something I am very passionate about. I utilize EMDR and DBT techniques to address multiple military related issues.

In addition to my clinical training in forensic psychology including military issues, I grew up a military brat, then spent 20 years in the military and I also married a military member. These experiences have given me a few different perspectives on the military profession/ lifestyle as a dependent, a spouse and one who has deployed and been separated from my family. Sometimes talking to someone that already knows the acronyms and some of the struggles on and off duty can be helpful.

I was a member of the Resilience Center for Veterans and Families of Columbia University for many years where I learned interventions specific to this community. I am also an Army Veteran, and currently serving as a medical operations officer in the NY Army National Guard.

While I am a civilian myself, I have extensive experience in supporting military veterans adjust to civilian life. It would be my honor to support you in helping you identify your new mission and make a plan for reaching your goals. I will help you discover how your military values and skills translate to civilian life. I can also assist you with coping with PTSD symptoms in hopes of increasing your level of functioning.

I have extensive experience in working with Veterans and active military members. Most of my clinical training was accomplished with VHA and DOD. My heart is fully with those who have sacrificed to serve our country and I have a deep understanding of the issues our heroes often bring home with them. I have intensively treated Veterans and service members with PTSD, addiction issues, serious mental illness, life and role transitions, grief, civilian reintegration, and mood disorders.

I have experience with deployments and the strains it puts on families, combat-induced PTSD and struggles veterans have upon military discharge. I am also trained in Levels 1 & 2 Brainspotting, which can help with somatic storage of trauma.

As a military spouse, I have first hand knowledge, and training, in assisting individuals through their military life, and after.

As a military veterans spouse I have had first hand experience in the life of service men/women and their families. I understand the challenges that they face both in active duty as well as in life after separation and the challenges faced when adjusting to life as a civilian.
