Counseling for Veterans & Their Families
At Onward Counseling Group, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive support to veterans and their families. We understand the unique challenges faced by military personnel and their loved ones, and we offer specialized counseling services to address a wide range of concerns.
Common Challenges Addressed
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):
Persistent mental and emotional stress resulting from combat, trauma, or service-related experiences. - Depression and Anxiety:
Feelings of severe despondency, worry, and unease. - Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI):
Disruptions in brain function due to combat-related injuries or accidents. - Substance Use Disorders:
Struggles with addiction and dependence on substances as a coping mechanism. - Moral Injury & Survivor’s Guilt:
Emotional distress from experiences in combat or military service. - Family and Relationship Issues:
The stress of deployment, reintegration, and adjusting to post-service life.
Our Treatment Approaches
We use evidence-based therapies designed to help veterans and their families navigate trauma, emotional distress, and life transitions:
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
A structured, 12-session psychotherapy designed to help individuals evaluate and change distressing thoughts related to trauma. By modifying these thoughts, clients can shift how they feel.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A goal-oriented therapy that focuses on changing unhelpful thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors to develop healthier coping strategies.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
An innovative therapy that helps process traumatic memories by using guided eye movements. EMDR helps reduce emotional distress and reframe past trauma without requiring in-depth verbal discussion.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
A powerful, rapid treatment that uses eye movements to reprogram how traumatic memories are stored in the brain. Many clients experience significant relief from PTSD, anxiety, and depression in just a few sessions.
Family & Couples Counseling
Military life and transitions can impact marriages, parenting, and family dynamics. Our therapists offer guidance to help strengthen relationships and improve communication.
