About this facility
The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Alaska Behavioral Health in Anchorage offers mental health and substance use care for post-9/11 veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. Services cover concerns like PTSD, depression, anxiety, substance misuse, and sleep issues. The clinic provides individual and group therapy, with short-term, high-quality care that is confidential, affordable, and open to clients regardless of military role or discharge status.
Care is built around each person’s unique needs using evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), cognitive processing therapy, and prolonged exposure therapy. Treatment may also include couples or family therapy, support for children, and telehealth for those who prefer virtual appointments. Sessions are private, and the clinic uses secure video software to protect client confidentiality.
Clients also receive help beyond therapy through brief case management and referrals to local services. Support may include help with housing, employment, legal needs, finances, and caregiver assistance. The clinic connects individuals and families to resources that improve daily life and support healing, growth, and long-term stability.
