Transitioning from military life to civilian life brings distinct rewards and unique emotional challenges. Being a veteran may include navigating trauma, identity shifts, anxiety, or a sense of isolation. At Journeys Counseling Center in Lubbock, Texas, our licensed clinicians provide confidential, veteran‑focused therapy designed to respect your service while empowering you on your next chapter.

Common Questions From Veterans Seeking Counseling

Taking the step to seek therapy as a veteran can bring up many questions. You may wonder what to expect, whether your experiences will be understood, or if counseling can truly help. At Journeys Counseling Center in Lubbock, we want to ease those concerns by answering some of the most common questions veterans have when considering therapy.

Is it safe to talk openly about my military experiences?

Yes. Our therapists understand the importance of a confidential, stigma‑free environment. You’re always in control of what you share and we’re here to listen, not judge.

Can therapy address both service-related trauma and everyday stress?

Absolutely. Our veteran‑sensitive team is trained in evidence-based approaches, like CBT, trauma-informed care, and person‑centered methods, designed to support both combat‑related PTSD and the more subtle stressors of daily life.

Will my military background be understood here?

Yes. Although we aren’t part of the military system, our clinicians are deeply committed to understanding veteran culture, values, and the emotional toll of service, honoring your past while helping you move forward.

Is counseling only for major symptoms like PTSD?

Not at all. Therapy supports a range of concerns, from trauma and anxiety to isolation, career transitions, relationship challenges, or self‑worth struggles. Whatever your reason for seeking help, it matters.

Do you offer flexible session options for veterans with demanding schedules?

Yes. We offer both in‑person and secure online counseling to help veterans access care conveniently on schedules that work for you.
