Mental health care is highly recommended to help military personnel returning to civilian life after discharge, as a great number of veterans historically struggle with mental health issues like traumatic brain injuries, PTSD, depression, suicidal thoughts and more.
A Mission For Michael Mental Health Treatment (AMFM) offers inpatient and outpatient resources that combine holistic and evidence-based therapies to help military service individuals overcome their mental health struggles with access to compassionate support services. AMFM has over a decade of experience as a mental health provider for first responders, active duty military personnel, and military veterans.
Research indicates that approximately 14% to 16% of the US service members deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq have been affected by PTSD or depression.1 Additionally, veteran suicide rates have reached their highest level in recorded history, with over 6000 veterans dying by suicide annually.2
AMFM Mental Health Treatment facilities provide compassionate care, suicide prevention strategies, and readjustment counseling to any active or inactive military personnel struggling with military sexual trauma, PTSD, depression, or other related mental health disorders.
In 2020, approximately 5.2 million Veterans experienced a behavioral health condition.3
Beyond mental health problems and behavioral struggles, Veterans make up a significant percentage of the homeless and transient population. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that 40,056 veterans are homeless on any given night, and over the course of a year, approximately twice that many experience homelessness.4
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) offers both medical benefits, VA health care, and housing assistance for veterans and their loved ones. You can learn more about your eligibility for coverage and assistance at https://www.va.gov/, or download the VA app here to find resources or a vet center near you.
We accept most major insurance providers and can check your coverage levels for you.
If we are not an appropriate provider for care, we will assist in finding a care provider that can help.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment for veterans combines holistic and evidence-based mental health services in order to help each person overcome their particular obstacles and mental health conditions with a fresh toolkit of skills. In the case of veterans, therapies and mental health resources are often geared toward recovery from post-traumatic stress disorder and other trauma challenges.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes.5 Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you. CBT has been proven to help with increasing mindfulness and emotional well-being for long-term recovery.
DBT, or “talk therapy,” helps process emotions by talking through situations with a qualified individual, in order to move forward with healthier ways of navigating interpersonal relationships, minimizing physical and emotional stress.
Group therapy sessions can be used to provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, encouraging peer support through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds.6
Our individual therapy sessions for men provide a safe, one-on-one space to explore personal challenges and develop effective coping strategies, utilizing evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). These tailored sessions focus on addressing root causes of mental health concerns and fostering long-term resilience.
Our inpatient program integrates holistic therapies into our treatment plans to address the mind-body connection, using mindfulness, yoga, meditation, and nutritional guidance. These practices enhance overall well-being and complement evidence-based therapies for comprehensive healing.
AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers family therapy through virtual family support groups that provide a dedicated time for families to engage in supportive and constructive interactions, fostering stronger relationships, and enhancing the overall treatment experience. Recovery takes a village, and it’s often helpful for family members to be involved in behavioral growth.
