About Headstrong

Headstrong History

Headstrong, veteran-founded in 2012, is one of the nation’s leading mental health care providers for military veterans and their families. We have developed a first-of-its-kind, comprehensive treatment program for veterans addressing conditions like PTSD, anxiety, depression, anger management and more. Treatment is individually tailored and not time-limited to ensure no mind is left behind.

Headstrong’s mission is to heal the hidden wounds of war by providing confidential, barrier-free and stigma-free mental health treatment at no expense. We serve active-duty service members, members of the National Guard and Reserve, veterans, and their families. Individuals are eligible regardless of service era, discharge status, or combat exposure.
