When your service ends, we’re here for you

It’s no secret that veterans’ mental health can take a decline once service comes to an end. PTSD, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, anxiety, depression—you don’t have to deal with it all on your own.

Even if you’ve tried seeking help before and it didn’t give you the results you hoped for, there is hope. We know that effective treatment requires a whole-person approach, and our methods are tailored to meet the unique needs of veterans.

Here at Indy Behavioral Health, we’re committed to helping those who have selflessly served their country find the right medications—and we don’t stop there.

Try a new kind of medication-based psychiatric care for veterans

You deserve to feel safe, fulfilled, and at peace after your service comes to an end. We can help.

You’re back home, but you don’t feel like yourself. You’ve tried nearly everything you can think of to feel better, but it’s not working.

If you’re not making the progress you hoped for lifestyle changes and counseling alone, then medication management is the next step. Let us help you create a roadmap to wellness that will help you feel like you again.

Discover a holistic approach to veterans mental health

Lifestyle changes

Healthy lifestyle changes can be transformative for your mental wellbeing.

Together, we’ll develop a plan for optimizing your sleep, nutrition, exercise, and even social habits to ensure your mind has what it needs to work with you rather than against you.

Medication Management

Mental health disorders often stem from neurochemical imbalances in the brain.

With the right medication regimen, you can achieve the mental balance needed to function effectively, keep your symptoms at bay, and find the peace and fulfillment you’ve been striving for.

Talk Therapy

Psychotherapy is a crucial part of the treatment process.

We’ll work with you to identify triggers, develop healthy coping skills, and make behavioral changes that can help you better manage your symptoms and reclaim your quality of life.
