I am an Army Veteran. People who served in the Armed Forces, their spouses, children, and even their parents, have experienced life in a vastly different way than those who did not serve. From day one, military service members are broken down and built back up to see the world differently. There is such a thing called “Military Culture”, which refers to the creed, the values, a language, a discipline, and the expectation of self and others that defines the military life experience. It is helpful to receive counseling from a person who has knowledge of that culture through experience and training.

Traumatic events such as physical, and/or sexual assault, combat exposure, the unexpected death of a loved one, an accident, and natural disaster can cause intense fear, helplessness, or horror. Many people who experience such events feel shock, anger, nervousness, fear, and guilt. For some these symptoms fade over time but can creep back up later in life. For others the symptoms intensify making it difficult to function. Therapy can help you develop coping strategies, process the trauma and heal, in order to lead a healthier, fuller life you deserve.

People who are sexually addicted feel compelled to engage in sexual behaviors regardless of severe negative consequences. People addicted to sex may take risks and suffer many losses, such as the loss of relationships, jobs, finances and even health. Some may find themselves facing legal charges and arrest. They often have feelings of shame and guilt about their activities. It is not easy to break the chains of sexual compulsivity. Sex addiction/ compulsivity recovery uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and insight-oriented therapy.

Thorough clinical interviews and testing, a comprehensive picture of your life experiences—where you came from, where you are today, and where you would like to be in the future—becomes clearer. You will receive a clinical report, that may include a mental health diagnosis, clinical impressions, and treatment recommendations. These evaluations are for your use only and released only to you. The report can be used as a second opinion, used to provide clinical and mental health information to obtain a medical marijuana card, or used for legal purposes.
