This group is open to Veterans of all military branches, first responders (EMS, Firefighters and Law Enforcement). Group therapy provides veterans and first responders with a supportive environment where they can share their experiences and emotions with others who have faced similar challenges. Being part of a group that understands the unique stresses of high-intensity professions fosters a sense of belonging and reduces feelings of isolation. Through shared stories and mutual understanding, group members can validate each other’s struggles and build trust, which is essential for processing trauma. The group setting also enables participants to develop coping strategies, learn from each other’s resilience, and create a network of support that extends beyond the therapy sessions, empowering them to reconnect with their communities.

Group has a tentative start date of January, 2025, day to be determined.

Group will be facilitated by Dr. Smith, a Marine Corps veteran.
