Face challenges with resilience & move forward with purpose.

Specialized therapy for US Military veterans & athletes.

You’ve always felt strong under pressure - 

but now? You're not so sure.

Maybe you're feeling...
  • Like you’ve lost who you are since leaving the military or sports.​

​

  • That you thrived under pressure, but now everyday stress feels overwhelming.

​​

  • The weight of lingering pain or injuries that’s affecting your mental and physical health.

​​

  • Stuck in a cycle of anxiety, sadness, or even flashbacks.

​​

  • Like your days lack direction without the structure you once had.

​​

  • Unsure about asking for help because you don’t want to seem weak, even though you’re struggling.

​​

  • Disconnected, missing the camaraderie and sense of belonging you had with your team or unit.

​​

  • Strong under pressure but unsure how to handle challenges in everyday life.

Resting Athlete

You’ve built strength where it matters most—now let’s help you use it everywhere.

OUR APPROACH

We believe that the strength you’ve built through service or sport is the foundation for overcoming any challenge - our approach is designed to help you apply that resilience to every aspect of your life.

Veterans and athletes are different in many ways, but they share a common need for strength, resilience, and support.

Both groups face intense pressure and challenges—veterans from the demands of military life and the transition to civilian life, and athletes from the physical and mental toll of competition. Yet each carries their own unique experiences and concerns, and at StrongMind, we honor those differences while addressing the core struggles they may share.​

​

Our team is made up of US Military veterans, competitive athletes, and highly skilled therapists with extensive experience, using evidence-based approaches like:

​

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

At StrongMind, we believe that you are not defined by the challenges you face but by your ability to grow through them.

Let us help you turn obstacles into opportunities for healing, strength, and renewed purpose.

Specializing In:

01
Veteran Mental Health

Life after service can feel isolating and overwhelming, as if no one truly understands your experiences. Together, we’ll navigate the complexities of transitioning to civilian life, process past traumas, and help you reclaim purpose and connection.

02
Athlete Mental Skills

Injury, early retirement, or performance anxiety can make you feel lost, as if your identity is slipping away. Through therapy, you’ll rebuild confidence, develop strategies to manage pressure, and find new purpose both on and off the field.

03
Trauma & PTSD

Trauma can leave you feeling stuck, haunted by the past, and disconnected from the present. Therapy helps you process those experiences, regain a sense of safety, and move forward with renewed strength and clarity.

04
Grief & Life Transitions

Loss or major life changes can feel like the ground has been pulled out from under you, leaving you unsure of how to move forward. Together, we’ll navigate the pain, honor what was lost, and help you discover hope and direction in the next chapter.

05
Relationship Challenges

Conflict or disconnection in relationships can leave you feeling unseen, misunderstood, or stuck in negative cycles. Through therapy, you’ll improve communication, rebuild trust, and foster deeper, more meaningful connections.
