"I worked my way up from a little baby medic to the NCOIC of a Forward Aid Station in Afghanistan, and eventually became a civilian PA. I'm really proud of what I was able to accomplish, but it left a huge wound at the same time. I saw it in myself, I saw it in my brothers and sisters, and I saw it grow over time. I always thought I would be a trauma junkie forever - working busy ER's and trauma centers - but I’ve realized that my true passion is working on that mental and emotional trauma. That is why I am so passionate about what I do here at Better U."

Military veterans may face a variety of challenges after leaving the military, including Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), difficulty transitioning to civilian life, relationship problems, and additional mental health issues including depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
It's important to note that not all veterans experience these challenges, and every veteran's experience is unique. But in general, veterans have a high risk of facing these difficulties than the general population.
Operator's Syndrome is a term that is sometimes used to describe a set of physical and psychological symptoms that may occur in military personnel who have been deployed in high-stress environments, such as special operations, combat, repeated deployments, traumatic events, and chronic sleep deprivation. It's important to note that Operator's Syndrome is not a formally recognized medical condition. Symptoms can include difficulty sleeping, irritability, depression, anxiety, and physical pain.
Military Sexual Trauma (MST) is a serious issue that affects many service members and veterans. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), an estimated 20% of women and 1% of men who have served in the military have experienced MST.
MST can have a significant impact on a person's mental and physical health and can lead to a range of mental health conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety.
Over the last two decades, research has established ketamine as a fast-acting treatment for improving symptoms of many treatment-resistant conditions.
Some studies have found that ketamine can produce a dissociative state, which can be used to enhance therapy and provide insight into the underlying causes of mental health conditions.
While other medications may take weeks to notice a difference, ketamine can produce rapid effects within hours.
Ketamine works differently than traditional medications for depression/anxiety and can often be effective when others fail.
Discover an enhanced sense of connection, personal growth, and clarity by stepping away from your default mode network. We utilize a different approach to healing that is anchored in self-empowerment, trauma-informed care, and improving connection with yourself and others.
