Our Commitment to the Military Community
Our O’Fallon, IL location was established specifically to serve military families at nearby Scott Air Force Base. We understand the unique challenges military service creates:
- Combat-related PTSD and moral injury
- Military sexual trauma (MST)
- Deployment-related anxiety and depression
- Transition stress when leaving active duty
- Family separation and frequent relocation impacts
- Stigma around mental health within military culture
Our care team treats these conditions with clinical expertise and cultural understanding of military life, in a confidential and supportive environment.

Our administrative team manages all TRICARE authorization and referral requirements. We also accept VA Community Care Network referrals for eligible veterans.
