WDVA Counseling and Wellness Program (PTSD / War Trauma Counseling)

WDVA's Counseling and Wellness Program (often called the PTSD War Trauma Counseling Program) creates community-based mental-health services for veterans and their families through a network of licensed mental-health professional contractors. Services include individual, couples, family, and group counseling for veterans and families. Some contractors offer group services specific to women veterans and spouses of veterans. Veterans may be referred to specialized inpatient or outpatient treatment offered by U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers or Vet Centers in Washington. The program also provides in-service training and consultation to college and university counseling centers about military and veteran cultural awareness. Confidentiality is preserved at the highest level possible. WDVA also publishes a searchable Find-a-Counselor directory (~48 contracted clinicians, filterable by all 39 WA counties).
