Veterans & First Responders

6,407 veterans died by suicide in 2022—approximately 21 veterans daily. Veteran suicide rate of 34.7 per 100,000 nearly doubles the 17.1 per 100,000 rate for nonveterans. Male veterans show 44% higher suicide rate than nonveteran men (42.7 vs. 29.6 per 100,000).

Fourteen to sixteen percent of service members deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq have PTSD or depression. Among VHA patients with PTSD: 36.7% had one other psychiatric condition, 21.3% had two, and 12.2% had three or more. First responders face comparable crisis—30% develop behavioral health conditions compared to 20% in general population, with depression and PTSD 5 times more common.

You've Served Others—Now Serve Yourself

Military and first responder culture emphasizes toughness, mission focus, and never showing weakness. Those values serve important purposes—but they also make it harder to acknowledge when you're struggling.

We understand that culture. We know that asking for help feels like failure. But continuing to serve means taking care of yourself so you can show up for the people who matter.

Issues We Address

Combat & Operational Trauma

Combat exposure, IED blasts, firefights, witnessing death. Evidence-based trauma treatment including PE, CPT, and EMDR.

We work with active military and veterans navigating PTSD, hypervigilance, anger, sleep problems, and reintegration challenges.

Moral Injury

When your actions—or what you witnessed—violate your core values. Guilt, shame, loss of meaning, spiritual crisis.

Moral injury isn't PTSD, though they often coexist. It requires specific treatment focused on meaning-making, forgiveness, and integration.

Military Sexual Trauma (MST)

Sexual assault or harassment during military service. Often unrecognized and untreated in men.

We provide trauma-informed care that understands the unique dynamics of MST, including betrayal by the institution and fellow service members.

Reintegration Challenges

Transitioning back to civilian life. Finding purpose after service. Relationship strain. Identity beyond the uniform.

Coming home isn't as simple as just being glad you're safe. The structure, mission, and brotherhood are gone. Who are you now?

First Responders

Police, fire, EMS, dispatchers. Cumulative trauma from repeated exposure. Stigma around seeking help within the department.

You see the worst of humanity repeatedly. That changes you. We help you process that exposure and maintain your humanity.

Specialized Understanding

We understand unit cohesion, chain of command, operational tempo, and the reality of life-or-death decisions. We won't judge your experiences or try to fit them into civilian frameworks that don't apply.

Our men's groups include veterans and first responders who get it. You'll find community with others who've been there.
