Active-duty service members and their families face unique mental health challenges. The demands of military life—such as deployments, relocations, and high-stress responsibilities—can significantly impact emotional well-being. Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common outcomes, not only for those who serve but also for their spouses and family members. This is why Harmony Hills offers compassionate, comprehensive PTSD treatment and resources for military personnel and their families.

Military mental health and family impact

Mental health treatment for current military members goes beyond addressing the needs of the individual service member. Spouses and adult family members often carry the emotional weight of military life. Long deployments, uncertainty, and concern for a loved one’s safety can lead to anxiety, depression, and secondary trauma. When a service member experiences PTSD, their family members are also affected.

Military family mental health is a vital part of the healing process, as service members often rely on their families for emotional strength and stability during challenging times. A strong, emotionally healthy family system can play an essential role in supporting the service member’s recovery and overall well-being. Families often face unique stressors, which can take a toll on their mental health. That’s why it’s crucial to provide comprehensive care that not only addresses the needs of the service member but also includes and supports the entire family, ensuring they have the tools and resources to navigate these challenges together.

Trauma and PTSD support through Harmony Hills’ Heroes Program

At Harmony Hills, we offer specialized care through our Heroes Program, designed specifically for military members and their families. This trauma-focused treatment program helps individuals work through PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other service-related mental health issues in a supportive, structured environment.

The Heroes Program incorporates:

Individual therapy

Helps clients process and work through trauma, develop healthy and effective coping strategies to manage stress and emotions, and build resilience to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and strength.

Group therapy

Offers a supportive, peer-based environment where service members and their family members can connect with others who are navigating similar challenges. This safe space fosters understanding, shared experiences, and a sense of community, helping participants feel less alone in their journey.

Military family therapy

Focuses on improving communication, building trust, and fostering healing within the family unit. It recognizes that mental health treatment for current military members is most effective when their loved ones are actively involved in the process. By addressing the unique challenges faced by military families, this approach helps create a supportive environment where both the service member and their family can work together toward emotional well-being and resilience.

Our approach is compassionate, confidential, and built around the needs of those who have served—and those who stand beside them.

Uniquely qualified to help military personnel and veterans through shared experiences

At Harmony Hills, our lead military therapist is a veteran who understands the challenges of this lifestyle firsthand. With a deep knowledge of the unique stressors faced by service members and their families, they bring both professional expertise and personal experience to every session. This dual perspective allows them to build trust quickly, connect on a meaningful level, and provide guidance that is both practical and empathetic. Their service background ensures that clients receive support that truly resonates with their experiences.

Paying for military mental health treatment with TRICARE insurance

We understand that cost can be a concern when seeking care. That’s why Harmony Hills accepts TRICARE, the healthcare program for active-duty service members, retirees, and their families.

TRICARE offers coverage for a wide range of mental health services, including:

• Inpatient and outpatient care
• Individual and family therapy
• PTSD treatment programs
• Crisis intervention

Our admissions team can guide you through the TRICARE process, helping you verify your coverage and connect with authorized providers so you can focus on getting the help you need without financial stress.
