Mental Health Support for Veterans in Canada
At Flow State therapy, we’re dedicated to providing comprehensive mental health support for Canada’s veterans. We understand that the transition from active duty to civilian life can bring unique challenges, often compounded by experiences from military service. Our team offers evidence-based therapies, including Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and other trauma-focused treatments, to help veterans regain a sense of peace, purpose, and connection.
Challenges Faced by Veterans
