1.2 million Ukrainians are currently engaged with the war with Russia. Most of the soldiers who started fighting in the war 2.5 years ago in February of 2022, have been rotated out from frontlines, were wounded, or killed.
Our team works with several military and National Guard units, both in Kyiv and on the front lines to ensure they have the tools necessary to remain resilient and battle-ready, while safeguarding their long-term mental health and physical wellness.
We are experienced in EMDR, CBT and bilateral stimulation.
We also provide assessments for units before they return home to ensure families stay safe once the soldier returns for a visit or is transitioned out of the military.
There is more need for traumatherapy services than there is current capacity.

Ukraine inherited a rudimentary soviet system with old hospitals. The Ukraine outpatient and inpatient treatment model is heavy on medical treatment and significantly lacking on the psychotherapy side. Currently, any psychologist willing to work with the military is accepted.
Our team is working to train these military psychologists in best practices and effective therapies through a military lens. We also offer training on the integration of the whole person - physical, mental and spiritual with a focus on spiritual-traumas such as Moral Injury and Survivors's Guilt.
Military Psychologists are able to take our 2-year training program through the International Institute of Postgraduate Education online while working full time with soldiers or National Guard units.
