You never expected to be here—or, at least, to feel this way.
Using alcohol, pornography, work, gambling, or other behaviors to escape thoughts, memories, or emotions that won't seem to go away.
Intrusive images, sounds, smells, or memories that continue to follow you long after the call, shift, deployment, or incident has ended.
Feeling disconnected from your spouse, partner, family, or friends, and hearing that you've become emotionally distant or shut down.
Finding yourself increasingly irritated, angry, on edge, or reacting more strongly than you'd like.
Losing motivation, feeling cynical, or questioning the work, mission, or purpose that once mattered to you.
Feeling alone in your struggles, convinced that no one would understand what you've seen, experienced, or carried.
Wondering how much longer you can keep pushing through while appearing fine on the outside.
Maybe you are struggling with…
We offer a safe and trustworthy space for you to get the mental health services you need.
We recognize that first responders, active-duty service members, and veterans face unique challenges that require specialized understanding and support.
Kenni Uribe, LCSW, is a trained First Responder Counselor and former active-duty military service member. Our team also has experience supporting first responders, military personnel, and veterans, with personal ties to these communities. We are honored to serve those who serve others.
Here’s what we’ll do together.
Therapy can help you with your experiences and develop a new perspective.
Military personnel, veterans, and first responders are often asked to carry more than most people will ever see or understand. Therapy provides a space to process those experiences, reduce their impact, and focus on your own well-being.
We can help with:
Depression and Anxiety
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Vicarious and Secondary Trauma
Self-esteem & Identity Concerns
Irritability, Anger, and Emotional Regulation
Relationship and Family Challenges
Substance Use, Gambling, Pornography Use, and Other Behaviors Used to Cope with Stress, Trauma, or Emotional Pain
During our sessions, you will be provided with a safe space to process trauma, learn coping strategies, and develop resilience.
We will start by gathering a detailed history from birth to the present, as this will help me better understand you. After discussing your background and current symptoms, we will set clear and achievable treatment goals together. We will work on reducing your symptoms using various treatment modalities. You may be encouraged to address some childhood events, but the choice will ultimately be yours.
Weekly sessions are suggested, but I know your schedule may not allow for that. We will adjust as necessary.
Imagine if things changed….
You feel connected to your loved ones instead of distant or withdrawn.
You have patience and fewer reactions driven by stress or anger.
You feel confident in who you are, both on and off duty.
You can look toward the future with hope instead of just getting through the day.
You enjoy being present with family and friends again.
You've trained for this, but it's becoming more difficult to handle.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
-
Many first responders, military personnel, and veterans worry that seeking therapy could negatively impact their career, reputation, or future opportunities. Concerns about confidentiality are common and understandable.
Confidentiality is both a legal and ethical obligation. What you share in therapy is protected, and we take your privacy seriously. There are limited exceptions required by law, which will be reviewed with you during the informed consent process.
If you are participating in mandated treatment, different rules may apply. In those situations, a Release of Information may be required to communicate with a supervisor or other authorized party. When information is shared, it is typically limited to attendance, participation, and overall treatment progress.
If you have questions about confidentiality or how it applies to your specific situation, we encourage you to discuss them with your therapist.

Vicarious trauma is the development of negative changes in world view as a result of the cumulative impact of witnessing trauma/adversity over time. It is a condition where compassion declines over time
Secondary trauma is the experience of trauma-related symptoms in a worker as a result of witnessing the trauma/adversity of another; typically quick in onset. Its symptoms resemble those of post-traumatic stress disorder, including intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviors, and changes in emotional response.
Both conditions can lead to the development of post-traumatic stress disorder, but they require different treatment approaches.
