WHY SYMMETRY?

At Symmetry of Self, we provide elite therapy for veterans and first responders—delivered by those who have walked the same path. We’ve lived the job, the pressure, the sacrifice—and we know what it takes to come back from it.

​

This isn’t surface-level support. We build genuine connection. The same camaraderie that carried us through hard times in uniform now forms the foundation of our work here. You don’t have to explain the culture. You don’t have to filter your story. You only have to show up.

From peer to peer, therapist to client, human to human—we’ll walk beside you as you reclaim your life, on your own terms.

OUR MISSION

At Symmetry of Self, we believe every person deserves a life that feels calm, meaningful, and truly their own.

We provide trauma-informed, personalized care for veterans, first responders, and others navigating life transitions, trauma, addiction, grief, or relational strain. There are no generic plans here—only real, practical strategies designed for lasting impact.

​

We refuse to accept the loss of our brothers and sisters to suicide—a tragedy born of a system that has failed them. This reality fuels our work and defines our mission: to ensure that those who serve and sacrifice can finally receive the quality care they deserve.

​

We call it The Symmetry Standard—a promise of exceptional, evidence-informed care delivered with authenticity and respect. Every individual is seen, valued, and supported. We don’t offer quick fixes; we create a grounded space where real healing, lasting resilience, and meaningful change can take root.

What Does "Symmetry of Self" Mean?

We chose the name Symmetry of Self because real healing requires balance—between past and present, service and self, strength and vulnerability. For veterans and first responders, that balance can feel lost. Our work helps you restore it.

​

At Symmetry, we help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been left behind, buried, or silenced. It’s not about perfection—it's about stepping into your life with presence and purpose, and learning to stand whole again.
