Veterans
The veterans health administration (VHA or “the VA”) offers free care for any service-connected disability, regardless of income. The VHA is separate from the veterans benefit administration (VBA), which is where you file your claims. Believe it or not, the VA is often the best way to connect with evidence-based care. They also offer couples therapy. Find your closest VHA location.
