Who we help

Trauma-informed psychiatric care for those who served and the experiences they carry.

Combat-related PTSD

Symptoms tied to deployment, combat exposure, and the transition home.

Military sexual trauma (MST)

Sensitive, respectful care, including from a clinician with sexual assault nurse examiner training.

Complex PTSD (C-PTSD)

Layered trauma and the sleep, mood, and hypervigilance symptoms that come with it.

How we care for veterans

Care is led by board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners (PMHNP-BC) who understand high-stress, high-stakes environments. Our founder spent years as an EMT before psychiatry; another of our clinicians brings critical-care, emergency, and trauma training. That background shows up as steadiness and respect, not jargon.

We focus on psychiatric medication management for PTSD and the symptoms that ride along with it, sleep disruption, nightmares, hypervigilance, irritability, and depressed or anxious mood, and we coordinate with your VA care and your therapist when you want us to. We are LGBTQ+ affirming and we meet you where you are.

Veteran PTSD care: common questions

 

Do you accept VA insurance for veterans?+
Yes. We accept VA, along with most major insurance, Ohio Medicaid, and Medicare, plus self-pay. We treat veterans across Ohio by telehealth and at our Columbus office.
Can I get PTSD medication management through telehealth in Ohio?+
Yes. Our board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioners provide PTSD evaluation and medication management by secure video to veterans anywhere in Ohio, so you do not have to travel for care.
Do you treat military sexual trauma (MST) and combat-related PTSD?+
Yes. We provide trauma-informed care for combat-related PTSD, military sexual trauma, and complex PTSD. One of our nurse practitioners has specialized training as a sexual assault nurse examiner, and our care is delivered with sensitivity and respect.

How quickly can a veteran be seen?+
We aim to schedule new patients within 48 hours of the online request. In a crisis, the Veterans Crisis Line is available 24/7: dial 988 then press 1, or text 838255.
