Therapy for Military and Veteran Stress in Fayetteville, NC and Online Throughout North Carolina

The military lifestyle is full of change and unpredictability. It requires a lot of sacrifices from you and your family.

As a military-connected person, you face a unique set of challenges. On the one hand, you are well-equipped to deal with change and uncertainty. You do that all the time, right? You are used to your plans being turned upside down at the last minute. You are used to being geographically separated from family and friends for years at a time. You are used to deployments and PCS moves. You create a new community every few years, including finding a new home, new friends, new jobs, new schools, new doctors, and so on…. You have learned to be super flexible and adaptable, because things don’t stay the same for very long.

But, that doesn’t mean it’s easy! You have been strong and resilient, but you are not super-human. Sometimes the challenges of the military lifestyle can wear you down.

It can be hard to accept help when you are used to taking care of things on your own. But, acknowledging that you can’t do it alone is really a sign of strength. Therapy can be a safe space for you to explore how you are coping with the stress of the military lifestyle. If you are a service member or Veteran who has experienced stressful work situations or deployments, this can also wear on you over time, and you may start to notice changes in yourself that you don’t like.

You may be feeling lonely, lost, or overwhelmed. Therapy can help you to find new ways to manage the anxiety and the exhaustion of constantly adapting to new and stressful situations.
