Counseling for Individuals, Couples, and Families
Building on the experience of its founders in offering pro bono mental health services to veterans and their families, SIS allows our military, our vets and their families to receive free or low-cost individual, couple, family, or group therapy and counseling each week. SIS therapists help clients deal with isolation, PTSD, depression, substance abuse, anxiety, employment/educational problems, marital issues, and the long process of transitioning back to “normal” life at home, preventing serious violence and suicide and enabling veterans to reintegrate as smoothly as possible. SIS currently offers sessions in its Laguna Hills location, as well as Veteran’s First in Santa Ana. In 2014, we will expand our counseling services to Los Angeles and Temecula. To schedule an appointment today with a counselor, call (949) 505-5015 ext 102. Read on »
