The price of freedom has come with many transitions as I navigate the best course of transition of supporting members of the veteran community, and those seeking mental health wellness in their lives. This transition also comes with updates from a social media/online presence. As such and in the best interest of this change, with the intention of transparency it is my hope that you will continue to follow with the exciting journey that has brought me these changes from the MST Survivor Project to a focus that encompasses a more direct, inclusive environment that focuses on veterans, and women navigating the highs and lows of life as a result of their traumas that include(childhood, service connected traumas-combat &military sexual trauma, & life) during the journey to wellness.
I look forward to continue sharing with you as these new transitions come to fruition. It is my hope that these measures are meant to be a more supportive environment for those challenged while also meeting the needs of the those seeking growth.

To all the many followers, veterans, MST survivors – I would like to thank you for providing Me with the opportunity these last 8 years supporting and guiding each of you on your journey of mental wellness, self-advocacy, as you navigate the chaotic system of finding supportive mental health services and groups so that you do not have to navigate this journey alone. I have been diligently working at developing my skills to provide further mental health support in a professional setting. As we all know, services specific to sexual trauma within the armed services with minimal support creates additional challenges in the healing process can be arduous identifying mental health professionals that understand the unique challenges healing can be from that.
I have recently opened my practice here in Vero Beach, Florida where I find the greatest version of myself and the space to heal. I would like to invite each of you to follow my Office page as I begin to unify the MST Survivor Project with Orchid Island Wellness and Counseling. Supportive resources do not change; however, I would like to be sure that each of you can continue to find the support each of you uniquely need. Currently I am licensed in the state of Florida and Washington, with the intent of identifying clinicians that understand the dynamics of Military Sexual Trauma and challenges in the healing process.
I look forward to furthering the goals of increasing mental health services to those who have been adversely impacted by Military Sexual Trauma and welcome your feedback with how Orchid Island Wellness and Counseling can continue to raise awareness, increase access to mentals health services, and navigate this much needed support within the veteran, active-duty military communities and their families.
Warm Regards,
Bonnie A. Walker LCSW, CCTP, C-DBT, CMIP (Navy Veteran, Founder of the MST Survivor Project, MST Survivor, Owner of Orchid Island Wellness and Counseling

The MST Survivor Project wants to acknowledge the recent Supreme Court decision to overturned Roe v. Wade and the negative impact that has and will generate towards Women’s rights in this country. We recognize that there continues to be a war of military sexual trauma raging within the armed services , lack of proper initiated corrective actions that have facilitated in the reduction of assault, and the deficient response for reasonable health care that spans to ease of access for all that need it. The recent decision in our courts to overturn a females ability to bodily reproductive autonomy is yet another example of subjugated patterns that women continue to fight for within the walls of this country. We will continue to stand in solidarity for the freedom for which we served so that all are equally free within the United States of America.
We want to mobilize all of our followers and supporters to identify volunteer opportunities either within this organization or within another that will support those that will be adversely impacted by this recent Supreme Court decision.
