Mental Health Services for Bay Area Military Personnel, Families, and Veterans

Teresa Allen MFT is a TriCare provider and works with active-duty military personnel in the Bay Area, their families, as well as veterans, using EMDR therapy.

Soldiers returning from deployment face challenges in reintegrating and recovering from difficult experiences during deployment. Multiple deployments make it more likely that soldiers have been exposed to traumas that may lead to post-traumatic symptoms. These can include a sense of estrangement from  family, anxiety and depression, hyper-alertness, intrusive memories, and substance abuse.

After a careful assessment, treatment for traumatic experiences can help you get relief from PTSD, resume family activities, and begin to reintegrate your life.
