South Bend Vet Center - Mental health care

Service name
Vet Center service description

We offer individual and group counseling. We also offer the following evidence-based modalities: 

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): This helps you learn to stop avoiding, denying, and struggling with their inner emotions and, instead, accept that these deeper feelings are appropriate responses to certain situations that should not prevent them from moving forward in their lives.
  • Prolonged Exposure (PE): This teaches you to gradually approach trauma-related memories, feelings, and situations that you have been avoiding since your trauma. By confronting these challenges, you can actually decrease your PTSD symptoms.
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT): This teaches you how to evaluate and change the upsetting thoughts you have had since your trauma. By changing your thoughts, you can change how you feel.
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This helps people learn how to identify and change the destructive or disturbing thought patterns that have a negative influence on your behavior and emotions.

We also provide referral to VA counseling resources and therapy resources in your community.
