Veteran-to-Veteran Mental Health Care
Out-of-Network private practice led by a retired Air Force Special Warfare veteran. Not enrolled in VA or WDVA provider networks — independent practice with familiarity with military culture.
A clinician who speaks your language without the institutional constraints.
Telehealth psychotherapy across Washington State.
Specialized Treatment for Complex Conditions
Outpatient care built for the conditions that get undertreated or misunderstood in high-volume systems.
- Psychosis and Schizophrenia-Spectrum Disorders — including Bipolar Psychosis, schizoaffective disorder, and treatment-resistant presentations. Veteran psychosis presentations receive a fully structured, phase-based treatment approach.
- Severe and Persistent Mental Illness (SPMI) — long-term stabilization and functional recovery
- Complex Trauma and Moral Injury — beyond standard PTSD protocols, for the wounds that don't have a diagnosis code
- High-Acuity Telehealth for Washington State Veterans — Specialized psychotherapy for psychosis, DID, and complex trauma. Access expert clinical support anywhere in Washington — from Seattle to rural and remote communities.
Veteran-to-Veteran Clinical Engagement
Your clinician is a retired Air Force Special Warfare veteran with lived military experience and advanced clinical training. That shared background changes the therapy.
Reduced Stigma
Veteran-to-veteran rapport removes the need to translate your experience. Shared military background lowers the barrier to honest engagement.
Faster Therapeutic Alliance
Trust builds faster when your clinician has lived the culture, the language, and the cost of service — not just studied it.
Specialized Understanding
Particularly effective for veterans dealing with psychosis, moral injury, identity disruption, institutional mistrust, or spiritual crisis after service.
Independent Capacity for Veteran Care in WA
Mad River operates as an Out-of-Network provider — we are not enrolled in VA Community Care Network (CCN) or WDVA panels. We are open to discussing pathways for veterans to access care, including potential Out-of-Network authorization or self-pay arrangements.
- Familiar with military culture, referral structures, and service-connected disability frameworks — without being inside them
- Available for veterans who prefer independent care outside the VA system
- Supplemental outpatient capacity for specialized conditions (psychosis, SPMI, complex trauma) that exceed current system availability
