Therapy for Military & First Responders
What’s Included
Understanding
Culture within these professions is a world of it’s own, and still varies between careers- military, police, sheriffs, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, corrections officers, and emergency dispatch operators. Having a therapist who understands process, hierarchy, and culture will ensure the session is focused on what matters, without wasting time learning about the process or the system.
Evidence Based Treatment
EMDR is an evidence based treatment that can be used to treat PTSD, as well as other Operational Stress Injuries (OSI) that our heroes incur throughout their careers. Processing the trauma helps clients create new associations and learning, decrease/eliminate emotional distress, and develop insights that will improve daily life.
Tools and Resilience Building
Working in collaboration with your therapist to build a treatment plan that works for you is integral. This means considering and addressing factors such as shift work, sleep hygiene, anxiety, depression, addictions and other coping strategies, anger management, burnout, grief and loss, trauma, and even workplace “politics” and stigma.
