Treatment for Military Personnel

The Kovner Center specializes in the treatment of Adjustment Disorder, Bereavement, PTSD, and other emotional and substance abuse disorders to returning active duty military soldiers, retired military and dependent military family members.

Our returning soldiers who have personally experienced serious to catastrophic physical injuries, witnessed the decimation of friends and others, and are experiencing emotional trauma, are seeking evidenced-based scientifically sound treatment. Their physical symptoms may include: muscular-skeletal injuries to the knees, back, shoulders, neck or arms. They may be recovering from other ballistic or shrapnel injuries. They may experience chronic pain, traumatic brain injuries, memory loss, insomnia, flash-backs of the military theater, occupational difficulties and marital problems. Our soldiers may experience humiliation from the ignorance and insensitivity of others, accusations of malingering, or naive admiration from friends or acquaintances.

Senior citizens may be traumatized in their home settings (elder abuse) or in nursing homes where they are separated from their loved ones, their homes, and communities.

The Kovner Center provides Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and DBT treatment methods for PTSD.
