At AVHS, our dedicated team understands the unique challenges faced by military personnel and Veterans.

We offer a range of evidence-based therapies to address various mental health concerns, including:

  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Moral Injury
  • Depression
  • Anger Management and the Management of Embitterment stemming from military service
  • Anxiety
  • Transition Stress
  • Identity Concerns
  • Grief and Loss

Transition stress is a common experience that most Veterans encounter when reintegrating into civilian life. The process of transitioning from military to civilian life can be complex and multifaceted, posing unexpected challenges for Veterans. While Veterans are known for their resilience, the re-entry experience often leaves them feeling unprepared and destabilized.

During this period of adjustment, Veterans may grapple with various concerns, including the loss of military identity, the absence of fallen comrades, a sense of missing camaraderie and purpose, and the need to find a new way of being within their families and communities. These challenges can significantly impact the mental health and well-being of both Veterans and their support networks, such as partners and family members.

Our clinicians have a deep understanding of the cultural and contextual elements of military trauma and will work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that considers your specific needs. We appreciate the importance of military culture, values, and moral codes in the treatment process.

If you are a veteran facing transition stress or any mental health impacts related to military service, we are here to support you. Contact our team today to schedule an appointment.
