Therapy for veterans, service members, and first responders — from a practice that works with trauma every day, not occasionally.
You've spent your career being the person who handles it — the one who stays steady while everyone else comes apart. That capacity is real and it's worth something. It can also make it very hard to be the one who needs help.
Fitness-for-duty reviews, clearances, promotion boards, what a supervisor might hear. We treat confidentiality as a clinical matter and talk through the specifics of your situation early — rather than leaving you to guess.
We're not going to dismantle the thing that got you through. The goal is access to more than one setting, not the loss of the one that works.
Much of the trauma work here doesn't require detailed verbal recounting. If talking it through in sequence isn't something you can do — or want to do — there are approaches that work differently.
The approaches we use most with this population — each one also has its own page on the site.
One of the most extensively researched treatments for PTSD, recognized in the VA/DoD joint clinical practice guideline. Works on how a memory is stored, rather than requiring you to narrate it in detail.
EMDR Therapy →Developed out of EMDR, working through where the body holds an experience. Often useful when talking about something has stopped producing change — or was never possible in the first place.
Brainspotting →Direct work with the nervous system, for when the body stayed activated long after the situation ended: the startle response, the scanning, the inability to fully stand down.
Somatic Therapy →Because this rarely affects only the person carrying it — and partners often carry a version of it too.
Couples & Family Therapy →In person in North Raleigh, or by telehealth statewide. Telehealth matters here — if you're north of the city, working rotating shifts, or simply not interested in sitting in a waiting room.
