​Let’s face it—veterans and first responders often fall through the cracks when it comes to mental health care. The VA system is overloaded. Many civilian clinicians lack cultural understanding. And too often, those who serve are left to carry invisible wounds alone.

 

At Symmetry of Self Counseling Center, we believe healing happens when clients are met by clinicians who get it. That means clinicians with lived experience—veterans and first responders—who understand the culture, the pressure, the sacrifices, and the cost of service.

We believe that the private sector is where real change can happen—and we’re building a team that proves it.

 

Who We Are

At Symmetry, we don’t just offer therapy. We offer belonging, relief, and authentic human connection to people who’ve lived in high-stakes, high-responsibility roles. Our clinicians are mission-driven professionals who are walking the talk—committed to creativity, camaraderie, compassion, and long-haul commitment.

Symmetry takes a holistic approach that supports both clients and clinicians. Our team leans into the mind-body connection through proven strategies, innovative methods, and down-to-earth care—because therapy should work in real life, not just in theory.
