A Veteran Family

A mother and her 4 young children entered treatment at the Cohen Clinic at The Up Center for family counseling. Upon intake, the team began supporting the family by connecting them with affordable legal resources and medical care before their therapy began.

In their initial visit at the Cohen Clinic, individual therapists were assigned to each family member. Increased costs of individual therapy and childcare may once have been a concern, but the Cohen Clinic at The Up Center has removed these barriers, and no one is denied access to care due to an inability to pay, and qualified childcare is available for clients with children.

To increase the odds for long-term success, individual therapy transitioned into family reintegration, and post-therapy access to Cohen Clinic case managers. For this family, what seemed like an insurmountable challenge, became a well-supported path to well-being and healing.

A Female Veteran

suffering from the lasting effects of multiple assaults while enlisted, was unable to go into many public places. The effects of PTSD limited her abilities to function productively and had almost completely isolated her. Through therapy which included Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), our veteran was able to process the traumatic events and rebuild her life. Not only has she been able to enjoy hobbies and experiences that had become triggering for her, but she has also successfully returned to the workforce, securing a professional role.

A Veteran Lost His Job

and had to move in with his parents, and fell into a depression. He sought counseling at the Military Family Clinic to reduce his anxiety.

His clinician and the clinic’s case manager worked to assist our veteran through evidenced-based practices, while concurrently focusing on gaining employment and housing. He was able to revamp his resume, receive interviews and as a result, secured a civil servant job.

At post-discharge check-in via phone, he was excited that he had moved into his very own place and was thankful for the services provided by the clinic. He would recommend the clinic to any veteran or military family he knew in need of care.
