A Veteran called us and said something that broke our hearts:

“I’ve survived eight deployments, but I can’t survive another therapy session that makes me feel like a case study.”

That’s when we knew we had to strip away everything that doesn’t matter.

No endless intake forms asking about your childhood pet.
No therapists who’ve never heard a mortar round.
No treatment plans that sound like a committee wrote them.

Just three words that cut through all the noise:

HEALING HEROES HOMES

Because the service member who runs toward gunfire doesn’t need 30 pages of paperwork to explain why he can’t sleep.

Because the veteran who carried his buddy to safety shouldn’t have to take the weight of his trauma alone.

Because the military family that’s survived multiple deployments deserves a therapist who understands what “Hurry up and wait” actually means.

We’ve learned something powerful: When you’ve dedicated your life to protecting others, you don’t want complicated therapy. You want therapists who get it. You want real healing. You want your family whole again.

Three words. One mission. Zero BS.

Your service deserves better than generic therapy, your family deserves better than one-size-fits-all solutions, and you deserve therapists who honor your sacrifice by delivering results, not just sessions.

Most mental health practices avoid PTSD cases.

We built our entire business around them.

162 active PTSD clients. Right now. Today.

While typical practices handle maybe 10% PTSD cases, we’re at 32.9%. That’s one out of every three clients walking through our doors.

Here’s what that actually means:

When other clinics say “we don’t have availability for complex trauma cases,” we say “send them over.”

When insurance companies balk at session counts over 50, we fight for 200+ because that’s what healing takes.

When families are told their veteran “just needs to get over it,” we show them what real PTSD treatment looks like.

Most practices want easy cases. Quick fixes. Standard protocols.

We want the warriors everyone else gave up on.

Because veterans deserve specialists, not generalists playing trauma therapists.

The numbers don’t lie: 32.9% PTSD specialization rate isn’t luck. It’s intentional. It’s what happens when you build a regional center of excellence for military trauma treatment from day one.

What if the trauma that's controlled your life for years could be resolved in just a few sessions?

EMDR doesn't just manage trauma symptoms. It rewires how your brain stores traumatic memories.

The results are staggering:

→ 77% of combat veterans: complete PTSD remission in 12 sessions
→ 80% phantom limb pain: eliminated or substantially reduced
→ 84% mixed trauma cases: PTSD remission in just 3 sessions

While others spend years in traditional therapy, EMDR clients often experience breakthrough moments in weeks.

Endorsed by WHO, APA, and used by 150,000+ therapists worldwide treating 7+ million people.

Remarkable growth milestone: Our June session data tells an incredible story.

June 2018: 107 sessions
June 2025: 1,230 sessions

But here's the whole picture: We started with just 14 sessions in 2017.

Today, we're delivering 1,230 sessions in a single month.

That's 10x growth in June sessions alone over 7 years, with a 42% compound annual growth rate for June specifically. Our overall session growth since 2017 shows a remarkable 172% compound annual growth rate.

Some standout numbers from our June performance:

- 1,230 sessions delivered this June
- 30% growth from June 2024 to June 2025
- 23x growth since our 2020 recovery

Even through the challenges of 2020, when we dropped to 52 June sessions, we've built something resilient and scalable from 14 sessions yearly to over 1,000 sessions monthly.

This isn't just about numbers. Each session represents someone getting the mental health support they need. We are proud of our team of 20+ dedicated professionals serving 500+ active clients with 30,000+ sessions delivered since we started.

Making Mental Health Care Accessible and Transparent

At Smart Counseling & Mental Health Center, we're committed to removing barriers to quality mental health care. Whether you're dealing with depression, grief, relationship challenges, or need specialized therapy, we provide personalized treatment in a supportive environment.

Insurance shouldn't be a mystery. We're in-network with major providers, including TRICARE, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Medi-Cal, plus we partner with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for veterans.

Don't have in-network coverage? No problem. We accept PPO out-of-network benefits. You pay upfront, we provide detailed superbills, and your insurance reimburses you directly. It's that simple.

Our fees range from $150 to $200 for 50-minute sessions, with EMDR at $200 for 60 minutes. Transparent pricing, no surprises.

Mental health care should be about healing, not navigating confusing billing. We handle the paperwork so you can focus on what matters most.
