The Arlington Vet Center provides counseling and treatment. Male and female counselors are available.

We understand that military sexual trauma (MST) isn’t exclusive to females, but consists of all genders from all service eras. If you experienced sexual assault or harassment during military service, we can help you get the counseling you need. We serve:

• Veterans
• Active service members
• Active or drilling members of the National Guard  or Reserve

We have a female counselor who specializes in helping Veterans heal from MST.

At Lawton Vet Center, we provide therapy to address issues related to MST.  You and your therapist will create a treatment plan tailored to meet your unique needs. That plan may include individual, group, couples, and/or family therapy.

Our counselors are adept at helping Veterans and service members who have experienced military sexual trauma (MST). We offer trauma-informed care and evidence-based counseling that includes:

• Cognitive processing therapy (CPT)
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Narrative therapy

Through individual and group counseling sessions, we can help you:

• Learn more about how MST affects people
• Provide individualized counseling to help you cope with trauma and its impacts on your life
• Provide treatment that involves discussing your experience

If you’re affected by MST, we’re here for you. Call us or come in for a consultation and allow us to partner with you in your journey toward wellness.

The Killeen Heights Vet Center has two counselors that specialize in Military Sexual Trauma treatment.   

We currently offer two groups for Female Veterans struggling with impact of Military Sexual Trauma.

• Eagles Group: Support group that builds upon the connections of group members who have shared experiences and who are evolving to recognize how to empower themselves .
• Warrior Renew: Healing from Military Sexual Trauma-utilizes a structured workbook to examine the impact  of Military Sexual Trauma and learn new skills to overcome the lingering effects of such.

We know that seeking counseling services can be overwhelming. Our treatment team consists of both male and female counselors that have experience and specialized training to assist with starting therapeutic services at a pace that is comfortable for you.

Nobody joins the military with thoughts that they’ll be sexually harassed, sexually abused, objectified, or made to feel less than human. The sense of betrayal at the hands of your “military family” is traumatic. Left untreated, it can affect your ability to thrive.

The most effective treatment is one that suits you best. We offer treatment modalities such as, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), which will help you to process memories of your trauma and confronting the emotions that come from those memories. 

We have both male and female counselors trained to help you overcome the trauma of MST.  

Note: Ask for “Zoe” when you call us. You’ll be handed off to a counselor, immediately, without being asked for additional personal information.
