Mental Health Counseling

Access to mental health services for veterans is essential in order to help them recover from their combat experiences and address mental health issues that may be related to their military service. Amistad understands the importance of increasing access to needed services to those who have served regardless of when they served, their time in service, or their discharge status. Amistad offers the following services free of charge to veterans, dependents, and surviving spouses. All services are provided by a licensed professional. The clinicians utilize evidence-based treatment practices in a private and confidential setting.

To ensure adequate access to counseling services, door to door transportation via Uber is available. Each veteran and/or beneficiary qualify for this service.
