Therapy for First Responders and Military Personnel.

In-person and virtual therapy are available across Arizona and Wyoming.

You never expected to be here—or, at least, to feel this way.

  • Drinking to cope with the intrusive images, sounds, and smells that won’t go away

  • Frequent arguing with your spouse or significant other, and they tell you that you’re “too unemotional and detached.”

  • A lack of motivation to work or a negative opinion about those you help.

  • Being easily annoyed and irritated by almost anything around you.

  • Thoughts that you can’t handle the mental or emotional pain anymore, that no one will understand you, and that you want it all to go away.

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 and Military experience situations and see things unique to the field. Therefore, they require a therapist who is skilled at serving this population. Kenni Uribe, LCSW, is trained as a First Responder Counselor and was also an active-duty military member.

Here’s what we’ll do together.

Therapy can help you with your experiences and develop a new perspective.

Our therapy is designed for military personnel, veterans, and first responders, helping them manage their experiences and improve their mental health.

We can treat:

  • Depression and Anxiety

  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Vicarious and Secondary Trauma

  • Self-esteem

  • Irritability or Hostility

  • Impulse Control

  • Substance use

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 reconnected to the loved ones in your life

  • You have patience with those around you

  • You feel confident in your abilities both professionally and personally

  • You can see a future for yourself

  • You can enjoy time out with family and friends

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

  • Before seeking counseling, many people often find themselves feeling worried about issues such as confidentiality. Additionally, you may have concerns that what you disclose to your counselors could potentially have negative repercussions on your professional careers and future opportunities.

    Confidentiality is a legal and ethical obligation for counselors and mental health providers. We are required by law and ethics to protect the information you share with us. If a counselor violates this trust, they risk losing their license, so they prioritize confidentiality.

    When clients are mandated to undergo treatment, the situation changes. For law enforcement, this can happen if a supervisor sees that an officer is having emotional difficulties but isn't seeking help on their own. In mandated treatment, clients can't fully control what information is shared. Counselors usually have a form like a Release of Information to communicate with the officer’s supervisor. These discussions mainly focus on the officer’s attendance, participation, and overall progress in treatment.

  • 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.

    • First Responders and Veterans often experience issues with relationships, depression, PTSD, substance abuse and other addictions,  and suicidal ideation.

    • First responders are 5 times more likely to experience depression and PTSD. *

    • Law enforcement officers and firefighters are more likely to die from suicide than in the line of duty*

    • An estimated 22 veterans die by suicide each day. That is one veteran every 65 minutes.
