At Aliya Veterans, we are dedicated to providing counseling and treatment programs designed specifically for veterans, active duty military, retired military personnel, and first responders. These service members have faced extraordinary challenges, both in the field and at home, that can put them at increased risk for mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.

We understand that the demands of military service, emergency response work, and the transition to civilian life can impact both behavioral health and physical health. That’s why we connect veterans and their family members to mental health resources that promote long-term stability, resilience, and overall wellbeing. Our health program offers a full continuum of care, so no matter where you are in your recovery journey, you’ll have access to the mental health providers, treatment programs, and resources for veterans you need.

Why Counseling Matters for Service Members

Military personnel and first responders often work in environments where mental illness and substance abuse can go untreated for years. Exposure to trauma, moral injury, high-pressure situations, and long separations from loved ones can create deep emotional wounds. Without the right mental health resources, these challenges can escalate into a mental health crisis.

At Aliya Veterans, we bring together experienced mental health professionals and licensed behavioral health specialists who know how to address the complex needs of veterans, active duty military members, retired military personnel veterans, and first responders. We provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can share your experiences, connect to care, and learn to cope with similar challenges alongside others who understand.

Our Full Continuum of Care

Aliya Veterans is more than a counseling service—we are a full-service treatment center offering coordinated, personalized treatment plans that address both mental health issues and substance abuse disorders. Our treatment programs include:

  1. Medical Detox: Safe withdrawal management for those with alcohol or drug dependence.
  2. Residential Treatment: Intensive 24/7 care in a supportive, therapeutic environment.
  3. Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Structured daytime treatment while returning home or to supportive housing at night.
  4. Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Flexible outpatient care that allows you to maintain responsibilities while engaging in therapy.
  5. Outpatient Treatment & Counseling: Continued therapy, skills training, and relapse prevention strategies.
  6. Medication Management: Expert oversight to ensure psychiatric medications are safe, effective, and integrated into your treatment plan.
  7. Aftercare & Alumni Support: Long-term resources for veterans to maintain stability after formal treatment ends.

Evidence-Based Counseling Approaches

Our mental health providers use proven, research-based therapies to help veterans, active duty military, and first responders process trauma, manage symptoms, and rebuild their lives:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Identify and replace harmful thought patterns.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): Process traumatic memories to reduce distress.
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Improve emotional regulation and communication skills.
  • Trauma-Informed Care: Ensure a safe, respectful environment for every session.
  • Motivational Interviewing (MI): Foster internal motivation for lasting change.

Our health program also integrates holistic therapies, like mindfulness training, fitness activities, and nutrition support, to improve overall wellbeing and physical health alongside mental and emotional recovery.

Specialized Support for Veterans & Their Families

Aliya Veterans offers counseling and resources for veterans that go beyond the therapy room:

  • Peer Support Groups: Connect with others who have faced and learned to cope with similar challenges.
  • Family Counseling: Strengthen relationships and communication between veterans and their family members.
  • Career Reintegration & Education Support: Navigate the transition from active duty to civilian employment.
  • Veterans Affairs Coordination: Assistance in accessing VA benefits and additional mental health resources.
  • Crisis Planning: Prepare strategies to manage a potential mental health crisis before it happens

You’re Not Alone

Whether you are an active duty military member, a retired military veteran, or a first responder, you don’t have to navigate PTSD, depression, anxiety, or co-occurring substance use disorders alone. Our mental health professionals understand the culture of service and the sacrifices it demands. We’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs, connects you to care, and supports your journey toward lasting recovery and improved overall wellbeing.
