Times of transition from military to civilian life are often a mixture of celebration and grief, leaving the familiar to pursue our next great life adventure. For returning veterans, maintaining a healthy relationship with your partner isn’t always easy. Arguments and conflict are inevitable, but if you’ve reached a point in your relationship where you’re struggling to coexist, it may be time to consider veterans couples counseling.

What to Expect with Dr. Devers

Service members, veterans, and their families often have difficulty finding trained behavioral health providers who know military culture and the specific issues affecting the military community. Making the first step to start counseling can be difficult. If you’re nervous or not sure about what couples counseling entails, here’s what you can expect in counseling with Dr. Devers:

• An open, safe environment to freely communicate with your partner
• Discuss problems and set goals for the future
• Begin to build healthy communication habits
• Address larger external conflicts, such as grief, PTSD, depression, or anxiety
• Learn tools that will help you communicate outside of counseling sessions
• Build a foundation of trust and support between you and your partner
