Be Encouraged, Challenged, and Empowered to Transform
Hello, I’m Ivan, a clinical mental health counselor dedicated to the welfare of combat veterans, first responders, trauma survivors, and individuals in recovery from chemical dependence. I specialize in treating complex trauma, moral injury, and substance use disorders (SUD)—understanding the unique burdens carried by those who have been immersed in intense, high-stress environments. I combine evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a deep empathy for the struggles you’ve encountered, offering an approach that is both effective and compassionate.
