Overview

The Wounded Healer Project's primary mission is connecting military Veteran-mental health providers with members of the Veteran community who may be struggling in isolation with addiction, poverty, incarceration, homelessness, unemployment, and terminal illness. Many Veterans are experiencing unaddressed mental health issues related to their time in service (i.e. combat, sexual trauma, addiction, shame, and isolation) and may have distrust in the law enforcement, judicial, and healthcare systems. The Wounded Healer Project team of military Veteran counselors views these challenges as opportunities to meet our fellow Veterans from a place of empathy, courage, and understanding in order to bring them back into the community and help enact lasting change in their lives. We believe no Veteran should be left behind. The Wounded Healer Project’s Veteran mental health counselors have direct experience working in the Colorado Department of Corrections and local community agencies providing direct mental health services for Veterans, including trauma-informed crisis intervention, PTSD, Moral Injury, Grief, and Loss- focused support as well as individual, couples, and family counseling services.
