Mental Health Counseling for Veterans and First Responders I served in the Army Reserves from 2000 to 2006 and was Deployed to Iraq in 2004-05 for OIF-3.

After working as an electrician for several years I decided to get my education.

I am Licensed in both the State of Texas (LPC-A) and the Commonwealth of Virginia (RIC) as a mental health counselor/therapist. I specialize in Veteran mental health working to help those suffering from PTSD, Mental health injury/trauma, Adjusting to civilian life, and a multitude of other mental health issues both common to the general populace and unique to the veteran community.

🙏 Things to Be Grateful For 🙏

When you think back to boot camp — being screamed at, told where to stand, what to do, how to think — it’s easy to forget how far you’ve come. Today, you have control of your life.

The next step is learning how to have control of your emotions, your mind, and your will — especially after everything military service demanded of you.

At Take a Knee Counseling, that’s exactly what we help veterans do:
get back to a place of high functioning, emotional stability, and peace — so your relationships don’t continue to suffer and your life doesn’t stay stuck in survival mode.

You fought for freedom.
Now let’s help you live in it.

🇺🇸 Wednesday Warrior Check-In

The uniform may come off… but the weight doesn’t always disappear with it.

Transitioning into civilian life can feel isolating. Different pace. Different expectations. Different mission.

But you are not behind.
You are not broken.
And you are not alone.

Every day forward is progress — even the hard ones.

If you’re navigating the shift from military life to civilian life and need someone who understands the mindset, the structure, and the silence — we’re here.

Taking the uniform off doesn’t mean the mission is over.
But transitioning into civilian life can feel like stepping into unfamiliar territory.

The structure changes.
The brotherhood shifts.
The pace feels different.
And sometimes… the purpose feels unclear.

If you’re navigating life after service — trying to adjust to family roles, civilian careers, or the silence that comes after deployment — you are not weak for needing support.

You trained for combat.
No one trained you for transition.

At Take A Knee Counseling, we help veterans rebuild rhythm, identity, and confidence after service. Whether it’s PTSD, anxiety, job stress, or simply feeling out of place — we’re here to walk that road with you.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

We’re here for veterans and military men who are ready to talk, process, and move forward.

So you’ve completed your service… now what?

Leaving the military doesn’t come with a clear instruction manual. The structure is gone, the mission feels unclear, and figuring out how to assimilate into civilian life can feel overwhelming.

This short video walks through how counseling can help you regain stability, clarity, and mental health — so you’re not just surviving after service, but actually living well.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own. A healthier life is possible with the right support.

You don’t have to have it all figured out to start healing.

So many veterans feel pressure to move on, be strong, and handle everything on their own — especially after leaving the military. But real strength is knowing when to ask for support.

Whether you’re dealing with PTSD, stress, family strain, faith questions, or the challenge of civilian life, you don’t have to walk it alone. Healing starts with a conversation.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we’re here to walk with you — at your pace — toward clarity, peace, and stability.

One step. One conversation. One day at a time.

🌅 A New Day. A New Opportunity. 🌅

Every day you wake up is another chance to move forward — not perfectly, not all at once, but intentionally. Healing from PTSD, trauma, or the challenges of transitioning to civilian life doesn’t happen overnight, but progress does happen when you choose not to do it alone.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we walk with veterans and first responders as they rebuild peace, purpose, and stability — one step at a time. Wherever you are in the process, help is here.

You’ve already shown strength.
Now let’s turn that strength into healing.

🎯 Reacclimating to Civilian Life & Finding a Job

Leaving the military isn’t just a career change — it’s a complete life transition. The structure is different. The language is different. The expectations are different. And for many veterans, finding a job can feel overwhelming, discouraging, or even identity-shaking.

If you’ve ever thought, Where do I fit now? — you’re not alone. Reacclimating takes time, patience, and support. Mental health, confidence, and purpose all play a role in building a successful civilian career.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we help veterans work through the stress, anxiety, and identity challenges that come with transitioning into the civilian workforce — so you’re not just employed, but stable, confident, and moving forward.

Your service mattered. And your next chapter does too.

🌤️ Friday Check-In 🌤️

You made it through another week — and that matters.
Even if it felt heavy. Even if progress was small. Even if you’re tired.

For many veterans, weekends can bring a mix of relief and reflection. If PTSD, stress, or old memories start to surface, remember this: you don’t have to carry it alone.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we’re here to help you slow down, reset, and step into the weekend with a little more peace and clarity.

This Friday, give yourself permission to rest.
Healing counts — even on the quiet days.

☀️ Monday Morning Reset ☀️

It’s a brand new week — and with it comes a new chance to move forward.
You don’t have to fix everything today. You don’t have to have all the answers.
You just have to take one step in the right direction.

For many veterans, Mondays can feel heavy. PTSD, stress, and past experiences don’t disappear overnight — but progress is built one decision at a time.

At Take a Knee Counseling, we’re here to help you turn a new week into new momentum — toward peace, clarity, and restoration.

This Monday, choose hope. Choose growth. Choose yourself.
