Military Veterans and First Responders
At Mercy Health and Counseling, we
deeply understand the unique challenges that come with serving in the military or being on the front lines as a first responder. Dexter, a veteran himself, knows firsthand the sacrifices made by those who serve their communities and country. He takes great pride in offering compassionate support to active service members, veterans, first responders, and their families.
We Understand Your Journey
Service often means witnessing difficult and traumatic experiences that can leave lasting effects. Whether you’ve been in the military, served as a police officer, firefighter, EMT, or worked in another first responder role, the impact of your experiences can stay with you—affecting your mental health, your relationships, and your daily life. We recognize that the stress, trauma, and pressure can sometimes feel overwhelming, and it can be hard to reach out for help. You don’t have to go through it alone.
A Safe Space to Talk
Our approach is simple: create a safe and understanding space where you can share your experiences without fear of judgment. Dexter and our team of counselors are here to listen, understand, and support you through whatever you’re facing. We use a range of evidence-based therapies to address issues like PTSD, anxiety, depression, and stress, all while keeping your comfort and trust at the forefront of everything we do. We know that talking about these experiences can be tough, but you are met here with empathy, respect, and care.
Support for You and Your Family
We also recognize that the effects of service extend beyond the individual. Families of veterans and first responders are often affected too—facing their own struggles as they support their loved ones. We offer counseling services for spouses, partners, children, and families, helping to foster understanding, rebuild communication, and provide a supportive network that allows everyone to heal and grow together.
Personalized Care
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to mental health, especially for those who have faced unique and challenging situations. We take the time to understand your story, your needs, and your goals. Whether it’s individual counseling, family therapy, or group sessions, our treatment plans are personalized to help you find relief and work toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. We’re here to help you rediscover joy, build resilience, and regain a sense of control over your life.
You Are Not Alone
It’s okay to ask for help. The courage it took to serve others is the same courage that will help you take the next step toward healing. At Mercy Health and Counseling, we’re honored to serve those who have given so much. We are here for you—ready to listen, to support, and to walk alongside you on your journey toward mental wellness. You are not alone, and there is hope.
