Therapy for Veterans
Care that honors where you’ve been and supports where you’re going.
Thoughtful, individualized therapy for Veterans navigating life during and beyond military service.
Your Experiences Are Part of the Story, Not the Whole Story
Military service can shape how you understand yourself, relate to others, approach responsibility, and move through the world. At the same time, your experiences and identity extend far beyond your service.
You may be adjusting to a new chapter, carrying experiences that remain difficult to process, managing the demands of everyday life, or simply wanting a place to focus on yourself and your well-being.
Therapy provides an opportunity to explore what is affecting you now while recognizing the experiences, relationships, values, and strengths that have shaped who you are.
You May Be Here Because:
- You are adjusting to life after military service
- You feel on edge, disconnected, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted
- You are navigating trauma, grief, loss, or difficult experiences
- Relationships or communication have become more challenging
- You are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, or changes in your mood
- You are questioning your identity, sense of purpose, or direction in life
You do not need to have a service-related concern or a specific diagnosis to seek therapy. Whatever brings you here is worth understanding.
Therapy That Recognizes the Whole Person
Military service can be an important and enduring part of a Veteran’s identity. At the same time, not every concern or experience is necessarily connected to service.
Our work is collaborative and individualized, with attention to the experiences that may be connected to your service as well as the other parts of your life that influence your well-being.
Depending on Your Needs and Goals, Therapy May Focus On:
- Processing trauma, grief, and difficult experiences
- Improving relationships and communication
- Managing emotions and strengthening emotional regulation
- Building greater stability and connection in everyday life
- Exploring identity, purpose, and life transitions
Evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed interventions, may be incorporated based on your individual needs and goals.
Working With Dr. Wright
Dr. Wright has extensive experience providing psychological care to Veterans through her previous work within the Washington, D.C. VA Medical Center, including in a community-based outpatient clinic.
Her work within the VA healthcare system has contributed to an understanding of military and Veteran culture, the transition between military and civilian life, and the varied experiences that may affect Veterans and their families.
Her approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded in respect for the individual. Care is tailored to who you are, what you have lived through, and what matters to you now.
You do not have to minimize what you are experiencing simply because you have handled difficult things before.
Therapy can offer an opportunity to better understand what you are carrying, make sense of where you are now, and consider what you want this chapter of your life to look like.
