Military Families in Castle Rock, CO
Military Families in Castle Rock, CO
We understand how tough it can be for families in the military. Moving to new places, balancing work and family, and leaving friends behind can make life really hard. We’re here to help every step of the way.
Understanding the Challenges
Being in the military comes with a lot of problems for families. Moving a lot, trying to find a balance between work and family time, and feeling sad about leaving friends behind can make people feel stressed and sad. These feelings are heightened for military families who have to face these experiences head-on with little say about how or when it happens.
How We Can Help
At Authentic Connections Counseling Center, we have therapists who know what it’s like to be in the military or be married to someone in the military. We recognize the hardship, duty, and meaning of your experiences, which gives us a unique understanding of what exactly military family members need.
Support for Military Families
Adjusting to new places: We help families learn how to adjust to moving to new towns. We also help kids with changing schools and making new friends.
Managing Mental Health: Our experienced therapists take on the important job of educating families about the harmful effects of long-lasting high-functioning anxiety and depression. Working together, we provide families with essential strategies to deal with stress in a strong way, reducing the need for relying on medication or caffeine to cope.
Identity Work: For service members who are going through the process of leaving the military, we provide a safe space for them to think deeply and learn more about themselves through identity therapy. Our caring support helps them discover who they are beyond just being in the military. At the same time, we help them be there for their families and loved ones as they go through this transition.
Grief and Loss Counseling: We understand how deeply saying goodbye to beloved communities affects families each time they move, and we’re dedicated to giving them constant support through the difficult journey of grief and loss. Our caring therapists give families important information about grieving, offering comfort and empathy as they go through the complex stages of mourning.
