Counseling for veterans and active duty, from a combat veteran.
You don't have to translate
I'm Brian Altmaier, LICSWA. Combat veteran, three deployments, USC MSW. I'm supervised by Dr. Erin Daniels, LICSW.
You won't spend the first session explaining the military to me.
Active duty or out
Still serving or long out, the work is the same. Deployments, losses and decisions that still replay. Sleep that never came back. Anger that shows up at home.
What we work on
PTSD
Moral injury
Nightmares
Anger
Anxiety
Depression
How the work goes
Individual therapy for adults. Direct and structured.
I use CBT, ACT and Prolonged Exposure. EMDR only when clinically appropriate and under supervision.
Where and when
Tuesday through Thursday. Spokane Valley office, or telehealth anywhere in Washington.
Paying for it
In-network with Aetna and UnitedHealthcare.
Other plans: superbill on request. Reimbursement isn't promised.
Private pay is due at the visit, paid by Ivy Pay in session.
VA Community Care: enrollment in progress. Ask on your consult call for the current status.
Not a crisis service
If you're in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
