We recognize that asking for help takes courage. We pride ourselves on being able to offer a safe space to our Veterans and service members. 

Our team is a diverse group, both male and female, with many of the staff being Veterans themselves, or having vast knowledge and/or experience working with Veterans, service members, and military communities. Our counselors are licensed clinical social workers (LCSW), licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFT), and licensed clinical professional counselors (LCPC). Both individual and group counseling is available. Check out our “In the Spotlight” section for a list of groups.  

We commonly address the following concerns: 

• Difficulties adjusting to civilian life following deployment or activation
• Concerns of lack of meaning or purpose
• Unhealthy use of drugs and/or alcohol

We provide counseling for symptoms of PTSD that include the following evidence-based treatments.

• 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 their behavior and emotions.

We currently have a PTSD group that meets every Thursday in Benton Harbor, Michigan.  If you are interested, please contact the South Bend Vet Center at 574-231-8480.
