- Directly supported free, timely, life-saving mental health care that strengthened the health, resilience, and readiness for 6,879 of our nation’s veterans, service members and their families last year?

My Centerstone therapist knows his stuff and is the real deal. I originally came to him for trauma treatment to help me deal with PTSD after serving in Afghanistan. I was able to work through my own trauma and was well enough to request couples counseling so that I could also focus on my marriage. My experience with Centerstone has been extremely valuable and I am truly grateful to have this opportunity. – a U.S. Veteran living overseas

Through Centerstone’s global network of trusted providers, peer support programs, and strong collaborations with organizations like the Cohen Veterans Network and Wounded Warrior Project, we strive to support active-duty service members, Reservists, National Guard members, veterans, and their families – wherever they are.
Our personalized approach and rapid access to care sets Centerstone apart for the people we serve that are living with anxiety, depression, stress, anger, relationship/marital distress, and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Our Military Services clinical care coordination team is 100% trained in Crisis Response Planning (CRP) for Suicide Prevention, ensuring consistent, high-quality support across our network. One provider shared how CRP directly impacts lives, when he helped two veterans in crisis successfully use their plans to avoid suicide. He noted there was an empowerment the veterans felt in managing their own safety, calling CRP “essential for anyone working with trauma and PTSD.”

Tom Mahler: Dedicated to Centerstone through Service
|
|
|
“It’s important for Centerstone to be the best organization it can be and provide the best possible treatments we can have with our clients,” says Tom Mahler.
Tom served in the United States Air Force for 25 years, beginning in 1973 to retiring as a Colonel in 1998. He subsequently assumed the care of his sister, who had been living with Schizophrenia all her life. They were able to find quality residential care that eventually allowed her to move to assisted living. Tom believes that the “last years of her life were her best years.”

|
After seeing how his sister’s life was changed by quality mental health care, Tom was inspired to get involved, which led to board service at Centerstone. Tom has a natural compassion for veterans, military service members and their families, and is also “deeply invested and interested in research.” He believes “if you are in this business, you have to be on the leading edge.” His support and time spent as a member of Centerstone’s Foundation, Military Services, and Institute Board of Directors, is proof of this unwavering commitment.

Tom wants everyone to know that “the sooner you get care, the better you will be and if you have someone in your family who needs help, come to Centerstone.” Help them find the quality care they need and deserve.
We are grateful not only for Tom’s service to this nation, but also his service to Centerstone. His commitment to clinical excellence and innovation helps our clients receive transformative mental health care. Thank you, Tom!
