Our counselors use various methods of treatment when it comes to couples or family sessions. 

We encourage our Veterans and service members to address any personal concerns through individual therapy. This can coincide with family therapy. During individual therapy, counselors may offer opportunities for your partner or other family members to join in the session, once or twice. This can provide an opportunity for your family members to learn more about your needs and ways to best support you during your treatment. 

Couples and family therapy can help with concerns such as these:

• Improved communication needs
• Partner distress
• Problem solving skills
• Family transitioning challenges
• Expectations after the deployment
• Family changes during the deployment
• Numbing and avoidance in family interactions
• Sleep disturbances
• Child behavioral concerns
• Family violence or domestic abuse
• Managing stress as a family
• PTSD and the family
