Therapy for Military and Veterans
Are You Coping with Trauma and PTSD?
Many Service Members and Veterans struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and trauma-related symptoms resulting from their time in uniform. This may include flashbacks, nightmares, and heightened anxiety triggered by seemingly harmless stimuli. The lingering impact of such trauma can disrupt everyday living, affect relationships, and make reintegration into civilian life challenging. You may feel isolated and misunderstood, unsure of how to communicate your experiences and cope with these memories effectively.
Do You Feel Disconnected from Family and Friends?
Military life often involves extended periods away from loved ones, leading to feelings of disconnection upon retiring or returning home. The shifts in family dynamics, coupled with readjusting to civilian life, can strain relationships. You might struggle to reconnect emotionally or feel as if the changes in yourself and loved ones during deployments have created an unfamiliar distance.
Are You Navigating the Challenges of Transitioning to Civilian Life?
Transitioning from military to civilian life involves adapting to a new identity and lifestyle, which can be fraught with uncertainties. Adjusting to new routines, finding employment, or even deciding on future goals can seem daunting. You may feel lost without the structured support of military life and experience a sense of loss or confusion about your new role.
We understand these challenges and the courage it takes to address them. At AugustaCBT, we offer compassionate and informed support, employing therapists who are personally connected to the military community.

How does therapy for Miltary and Veterans work?
Our therapy for military and veterans employs cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address the complexities of military life and its aftermath. We start with an initial consultation to understand your unique history and current challenges, ensuring a personalized approach.
CBT sessions focus on identifying and transforming negative thought patterns and behaviors related to trauma, stress, and adjustment difficulties. Techniques such as exposure therapy help process traumatic memories in a safe environment, while cognitive restructuring aids in developing healthier thought responses.
As therapy progresses, we incorporate practical tools to enhance communication and relationship-building skills, addressing any disconnections you feel with family and friends. Sessions also cover transitional support strategies to help you adjust to civilian life confidently. Periodic reviews are conducted to track progress, refine goals, and ensure the therapy aligns with your evolving needs.
