Veterans

Therapists In Denver And Nearby Specializing In Veterans

Many veterans navigate distinct life experiences shaped by military service, reintegration, and the transition back to civilian roles, all of which can influence emotional health and well-being. At Westside Behavioral Care, we offer specialized therapy for veterans designed to address trauma, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship difficulties, and other mental health concerns common after military service.

 

Our therapists use proven, evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), trauma-informed care, and acceptance-based models to support healing and long-term recovery. Whether you’re newly transitioning to civilian life or carrying decades of unspoken pain, our team is here to help you process the past and move forward with strength and clarity.

 
Read more about therapy for veterans

Veteran-focused therapy can address a range of concerns including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), moral injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related symptoms, chronic hypervigilance, survivor’s guilt, emotional numbness, and substance use. Many veterans also struggle with isolation, identity shifts, or difficulty relating to civilians, which can affect relationships, employment, and quality of life.

 

Our therapists recognize that military culture is distinct and that trust must be earned. We offer a respectful, culturally informed space for veterans to explore painful experiences without judgment. For those managing symptoms rooted in combat trauma or military sexual trauma (MST), we provide tailored interventions to reduce emotional reactivity and support long-term recovery goals.

 

Sessions are available in person throughout the Greater Denver Area and online across Colorado. All providers are in-network with Kaiser Permanente, and many accept additional major insurance plans.
