Military life comes with unique struggles that can have lasting effects on veterans and their families.

This is where therapy can help. Whether you are located in downtown Gilroy, the suburbs of Gilroy, other nearby places such as Campbell, Salinas, or anywhere else in California, Mental Health Match can help you easily find an experienced therapist or counselor who best meets your needs.

Common Issues Military Veterans and Families Face

Here are some of the most prevalent issues facing veterans and military families:

  • Veterans: Combat injuries, addictions to narcotics, alcoholism, difficulties getting reacclimated to the civilian world, mental issues like anxiety and PTSD.
