Serving in the military is truly a noble act.
But with the experience comes more than just a badge of honor.
It often comes with a laundry list of physical and emotional aftereffects, that if left unaddressed, can prevent you from leading a functional, fulfilling life.
Regardless of the reason you choose to serve, you might face some struggles once you return home.
It’s crucial that you get help during this transitional time.
Military families and veterans, particularly those from recent wars who have been deployed numerous times, face challenging adjustments when they return to civilian life.
They have to find employment, reconnect with family, and adjust to a new way of life.
Sometimes plans for the next phase don’t work out as planned, which means the soldier has to develop a whole new set of coping skills in a totally different environment.
This can be a very lonely struggle and soldiers often experience culture shock and even PTSD upon returning home.
We’re so confident in our extraordinary therapists that we guarantee you’ll love your match – or your money back.
At My LA Therapy, our highly-vetted Anxiety experts are selected not only for their clinical acumen but for who they are.
Supportive therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and EMDR are proven by research to be effective in treating PTSD.
In addition to PTSD, many vets experience depression and substance abuse.
Sadly the rate of suicide is 1.5 times the non-veteran population.
In most cases, suicide can be prevented with appropriate treatment and prevention measures.
Substance abuse may be an attempt to cope, but can often lead to addiction, loss of employment, and even loss of life.
Addiction can be treated, and our therapists are skilled in helping our clientsrecover from depression, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.
Our compassionate and experienced therapists can work with you to map out an individualized treatment plan, and help you overcome trauma, depression, anxiety, and of course, PTSD.
At My LA Therapy, we understand the unique needs of veterans and the complexity of returning to civilian life after deployment.
Sometimes it can feel like no one understands and you may not feel comfortable talking with friends and family about the intensity of what you experienced and are feeling.
Sometimes the horrors can seem to great to face.
But we can handle it alongside you.
We are here to create a space where you can share your experiences without fearing becoming a burden to those you love.
We take joy in shouldering these burdens with you and helping you navigate through your pain to find healing and freedom again.
As a veteran, you’re no stranger to courage.
But healing requires courage as well.
To experience true and lasting joy in our life, we must face and conquer our pain by having the courage to face our underlying trauma and confront our fears.
Therapy can successfully improve your life by helping you minimize your anxiety, identifying and changing underlying thought and behavioral patterns that contribute to your struggles, and providing you with strategies to decrease discomfort while restoring an overall sense of peace.
Our evidence-based, scientifically proven interventions are demonstrated by research to be effective in addressing PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and other mental health issues faced by veterans and those serving in the military.

I am blown away! I don’t write testimonials, unless I have been extremely moved by something. I was blessed to work with Brooke on a single session, and before this I was in therapy on and off with multiple therapists for the last 20 years of my life. Brooke was able to do more in one session than many years of work with my previous therapist. She has the true gift of great insight and compassion while also getting straight to the heart of your blind spots and unconscious issues in a way that has truly changed my life.

There are people who are good at their work there are people like Brooke: who are born to do it. I cannot recommend Brooke more highly. I can only imagine where I would be today if I had started working with her years ago. From the beginning of our session, she knew exactly what tools and questions that would work for my particular psychology and my personal experience. No other therapist has been able to do that or anything close.
What I also really appreciate from our session is Brooke's ability to go directly to the source of the issue while also keeping a very gentle and kind energy with me. I felt very seen, understood, and supported. Everything and more that I could have ever asked for from a therapist. I have a severe trauma history and complex issues she was able to immediately identify and help. If she could help me, I know she can help you too.

You did more in 45 minutes than my last therapist did in a year.

With your help, I've finally started to understand that while my vivid imagination often wants to create terrifying monsters under the bed, in a lot of cases those monsters are nothing more than a heap of decidedly less-terrifying laundry I've avoided for too long that just needs to be aired out and put away. Which is definitely a lot easier than monster slaying. Thank you for shedding light in the dark places I was too afraid to face alone.

I am extremely fortunate to work with Sydney, who is helping me create real internal change. The talent to listen well is Hall of Fame stuff, and she has that. She then follows with questions, strategies that are organic to the moment. I have come to believe that deep, radical, if occasionally deeply painful change ... and, then, healing can happen. I'm just at the lip of that last part - but would not have gotten there, AT ALL, without Sydney

The best therapist ever! Life-changing 🙂

Right now, the work is changing my life, sometimes in inches, sometimes in miles.
