Programs
Mental Health Counseling
Depression, anxiety and grief — treated as part of the same situation as everything else, because they are.
What is available
- Individual counseling for depression, anxiety, grief and adjustment
- Group support through partner programs
- Coordination with VA mental health services for eligible veterans
- Crisis planning — a written plan for the bad night, made on a good day
- Medication management where it is wanted, in coordination with prescribers
Valor Villages describes mental health counseling as a service it partners on and is actively growing in-house. Our role is the clinical coordination: making sure the counseling connects to the medical chart, the housing plan and the recovery plan rather than running alongside them.
Why we do not treat this separately
Depression that is really untreated pain, anxiety that is really a stuck alarm, and low mood that is really unmanaged blood sugar all look similar in a fifteen-minute appointment and respond to completely different things. Assessing them together is not thoroughness for its own sake — it is how you avoid treating the wrong one for a year.
