Welcome - We Are Here For You

Directions for Life provides Psychotherapy, Life Coaching and Emdr Therapy for all populations, with a special goal of helping women who have seperated from the military and who experienced emotional and or physical abuse while serving their country.

Women are often made to feel relegated to second-class status, and this is no less acute in institutionalized settings, including the armed forces. The notion of living in an egalitarian society is more an aspiration than a reality. This manifests in the lack of information regarding available support services to meet their specific needs. 

Today, as throughout history, women have been ignored, their rights marginalized, and their physical and emotional needs are unmet. Our goal is to address this situation to ensure that no woman is then left behind, ignored, and devalued. 

Our services fall into two categories: 

1. Services that are focused on our Women Veterans.

2. Services that are provided to the entire community, regardless of military status and gender. 

1. Services for Women Veterans - You are not alone!

Too often, women are the target of a variety of emotional and physical abuses while in service to this country. Moreover, when these abused women separate from their service branch, they are often unaware of relevant support services which are available through the Veterans Administration or  in their communities. We estimate that there are more than five thousand (5000) women who might benefit from accessing these resources but who are currently not receiving them.

Directions For Life was established to combat the acute lack of information regarding readily available support services for women who leave our country’s armed forces.  

First and foremost, the mission of Directions For Life is to identify and reach out to and provide assistance to women who have experienced abuse while serving  in the military.

If you have seperated from the armed forces and are struggling with reintegrating into society, we can assist with helping you identify and apply for support services for which you may be eligible. We will then monitor your progress to ensure that you are receiving the benefit of needed services and we will provide alternatives for community-based services if necessary.

Directions for Life is dedicated to performing this outreach and informing you of what is available, but also to the best of our ability, ensuring that you are receiving and benefiting from these services and programs. 

2. Services for All - Let us help you regain life to its fullest capacity

Today, you are one step closer to a new you, where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. 

We offer therapies to all. Our goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary  approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, we look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.  We empower lives one problem at  a time by working together. 

Directions For Life is establishing its own programs to provide a variety of services including, but not limited to, counseling, life coaching, and one-on-one and group therapies to all so that they may achieve stability in order that they can live productive lives.
