Veterans and Active Duty Personnel

Odyssey Wellness is proud to play an active role in supporting the mental health of active duty personnel and veterans in our community. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression are a growing concern among military personnel and veterans throughout the U.S.

Some issues that affect military families include:

• Adjustment to deployment, or re-entering U.S civilian society
• Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (caused by distressing experiences)
• Unhealthy coping mechanisms
• Family and marital difficulties

We focus on enhancing well-being by enabling a more functional and balanced life. We work through effective ways of thinking and coping to promote a greater sense of self-esteem for all patients within our care.

Odyssey Wellness provides psychological assessments and tests including:

• Clinical Compensation and Pension Assessments for the VA
• Psychological Testing To Address Differential Diagnosis and Related Symptoms
• Disability Assessments for functional Impairments
• Therapy Services for Individuals and Families

We perform therapy for Immediate onset PTSD and Delayed onset PTSD, Anxiety, and Depression Disorders. Our evidence based therapies address the trauma and/or the associated cognitive and emotional effects associated with the unique characteristics of the military culture. Military personnel and veterans who experience other symptoms with or without PTSD, such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and suicidal thoughts are given an appropriate customized treatment program.

Our therapists are calm, friendly, and empathic. We believe in working side-by-side with clients to successfully deal with the intense emotions that can arise during therapy. Our therapists help patients to understand how they think about their trauma and the after-effects. Our goal is to correct negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors by gradually adjusting and changing how certain thoughts create stress and anxiety.

Odyssey Wellness offers a confidential and comfortable therapeutic environment for Military Personnel and Veterans.
