The physical health of our Sarasota area veterans is important, but just as critical is the mental health of those veterans who have suffered trauma. Effective treatments are available for a wide range of mental health issues, but the veteran needs to take action to seek them. They need to work with their doctor or mental health professional to determine which treatments are the most effective for them, as the success of each treatment will vary by individual.

One of the therapy techniques offered to local veterans from Operation Rubix is Adlerian Therapy. Our therapist Robyn LaPorta, MA is a registered mental health counseling intern who provides counseling through individual and group therapy sessions.

At Operation Rubix, we strive to connect veterans and military members to resources that can offer positive treatment. We draw attention to mental health and spread awareness throughout the community. We also pair military members and veterans with therapuetic services and counseling through individual and group therapy sessions of various types. One of the types of therapy we encourage is cognitive behavioral therapy. Learn more about this type of therapy by reading on.

Many veterans battle with mental health disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In an effort to help veterans experience relief, studies have shown that acupuncture has positive effects. Acupuncture is a non-invasive treatment that can help with stress, depression, and anxiety, which are all parts of PTSD.
