Veterans/Military Service

As an Air Force Veteran, I have worked with Active Duty service members, Veterans, and their families.

I am a military partner and a Certified Military Clinical Counselor offering FREE sessions to veterans, reservists, and active duty US military with proof of military status.

As a Veteran of the USMC and current member of the MN Army National Guard having served on three deployments, I know the struggles of military members and their families. I understand what it is like to want to talk about your experiences and not have someone cringe, or ask all kinds of questions about what the acronyms are/mean. I get that we do not all have PTSD, and that we may just be having "normal" struggles like everyone else. But if you do have trauma, we will address it.

I spent 18 months at Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center working with military servicemembers, veterans, and their families. I've learned the unique aspects of military culture and how the culture impacts veterans - even those who don't have PTSD. I'm able to work with high-achievers to be able to maintain their skills set while development mindfulness and coping mechanisms for civilian life.

As the daughter of a 25 year veteran and an active duty spouse for the last 15 years, Amanda is uniquely qualified in the area of veterans and military service. Being able to understand the complexities of military life influences her ability to counsel service members and their families with compassion and empathy.

I have extensive experience in working with Veterans and active military members. Most of my clinical training was accomplished with VHA and DOD. My heart is fully with those who have sacrificed to serve our country and I have a deep understanding of the issues our heroes often bring home with them. I have intensively treated Veterans and service members with PTSD, addiction issues, serious mental illness, life and role transitions, grief, civilian reintegration, and mood disorders.

As the child of a career Navy father I have lived life in a military family. I watched my father and several other family members as they traversed through their careers in the military and I iwas born and raised in one of the largest military cities in the U.S. I get it and am lucky enough to serve those who serve.

Retired disabled combat veteran with over 20 years experience within the military community.

As a military veteran, I am familiar with the military life experience. Maybe you are struggling from symptoms of trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, or grief. All these experiences bring difficult emotions. Perhaps you are struggling as you transition from the military to civilian life. When a person transitions from the military to civilian life, so does the family. This can be a time of confusion after living a structured life. Whatever the reason, we can work together.

Veterans or active duty service members may be eligible for no cost mental health treatment with me. Contact me to discuss further.

I have significant experience in working with active duty military and as a veteran myself with deployment experience I uniquely understand both military culture, as well as the many different issues, questions, and problems that arise from your service.

If you’ve served in the military, the odds are high you have some degree of mental and emotional distress caused by difficult experiences. Being a combat soldier in the Army and a military spouse has given me a personal frame of reference for experiences like these.

As a veteran, I understand the challenges of being in the service as well as the dependents' struggles. I will work with you to resolve and conquer challenges as you serve, and as a veteran. We will work together to prepare and to integrate into civilian life with a smooth transition, in a non-judgmental and supportive environment.

My 15+ years as a member of the military community pairs well with my training and 10yrs+ experience working with the military. Having a therapist who understands all of the good, and bad, that can come with being part of the military community is invaluable. Life events and stress happen but it hits differently when there is so much of your life that is out of your control.
