These experiences can significantly impact mental well-being, relationships, and daily functioning. At Monima Wellness, our expert clinicians understand these unique stressors and provide targeted, compassionate care to address them effectively.
Monima Wellness offers comprehensive, trauma-focused treatment programs specifically designed for active duty military personnel, veterans, and their families:
Our evidence-based approaches to PTSD and trauma treatment include:
Moral injury occurs when experiences violate deeply held moral beliefs—whether through witnessing, participating in, or failing to prevent actions that conflict with one’s moral code. Our specialized moral injury treatment helps military personnel and veterans process these complex experiences and rebuild a sense of meaning and purpose.
Our approach to moral injury combines:
For women who have experienced sexual trauma during military service, our gender-specific environment provides a safe, supportive space for recovery. Our MST treatment program serves both active duty and veteran women and includes:

Monima Wellness is committed to supporting LGBTQ+ service members and their families, who often face unique challenges in both military and healthcare settings. Our inclusive approach recognizes that LGBTQ+ military personnel may experience:
Our LGBTQ+ mental health services create a safe, affirming environment where all aspects of identity are respected and understood.

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Monima is individualized for women and offers part-time, intentional, and comprehensive treatment for challenges related to mental health and trauma recovery.
IOP is designed specifically for women ready for level of support above traditional once-per-week therapy, or as a stepping stone between a full-time recovery program — such as PHP or residential treatment — and returning to their daily routines full-time.
The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Monima provides treatment for women seeking a comprehensive and full-time mental health treatment program that fosters lasting mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.
PHP is the highest level of care available at Monima, intentionally designed for women that are ready for a step above basic therapy, psychiatric support, or IOP. Most clients take a leave of absence from work, school, or their daily routines to fully immerse themselves in healing.
Monima Wellness offers an outpatient program (OP) to provide continued mental health support while integrating into their daily lives. This program is ideal for those transitioning from more intensive levels of care, such as PHP or intensive outpatient treatment. Sometimes referred to as aftercare, the OP emphasizes maintaining and building upon the progress achieved in previous phases, allowing clients to begin balancing their recovery with work, education, or family responsibilities.
