For many veterans, returning to civilian life comes with unexpected emotional battles. From post-traumatic stress to anxiety, depression, and relationship struggles, the weight of service doesn’t disappear with the uniform. Unfortunately, too many veterans in Las Vegas try to push through silently, partly because they don’t know where to go for affordable help.
The truth is, support is available, and for those enrolled in VA health care, it can be completely free through TriWest Healthcare Alliance.
This guide breaks down how veterans in Las Vegas can access professional, confidential mental health therapy without financial stress. Whether you’re ready to begin therapy or just starting to explore your options, we’ll walk you through what’s possible and how to take the first step toward healing.
At Golden Touch Behavioral Care Center in Las Vegas, we proudly support veterans like you through TriWest by offering affordable, trauma-informed therapy without complicated barriers.

Support is available, and it may already be covered for you.
Reach out today and let’s take the first step together.
Reclaim Your Mental Health Without Paying Out of Pocket
If you’re a veteran enrolled in VA health care, you may already qualify for free community-based therapy through TriWest. This program partners with the VA Community Care Network, allowing veterans to access care outside of traditional VA hospitals and clinics.
This is a game-changer for veterans who:
- Can’t find a VA therapist nearby
- Face long wait times for appointments
- Want more flexibility or privacy in choosing a therapist
With TriWest, you can receive therapy from local, licensed professionals like the team at Golden Touch Behavioral Care Center at no cost to you. That means you can start getting support right away, without worrying about bills, copays, or deductibles.
Unlock Covered Therapy Services Through Your Plan
TriWest covers a broad range of mental health services, including:
- Individual therapy
- PTSD and trauma counseling
- Depression and anxiety treatment
- Anger management
- Family or relationship support
- Substance use counseling
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
You don’t need to be in crisis to qualify. If you’re feeling off, overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, you can access individual therapy or relationship support that fits your unique needs and situation.
Start with These Simple Steps
Many veterans never use TriWest benefits because they believe the process is too complicated or don’t even know the option exists. But starting therapy is more straightforward than it seems. Here’s how to move forward:
Check Your VA Health Enrollment
Make sure you have enrollment in VA health care. If you’re not sure, you can call your local VA office or visit VA.gov to confirm your status.
Request Community Care
Tell your VA provider that you want to receive therapy through a community-based provider like Golden Touch. You can say:
“I’d like to explore mental health therapy outside the VA, through Community Care.”
Your provider will help submit the referral request to TriWest.
Get Authorization
Once TriWest approves the referral, you’ll receive Authorization to start therapy with a community provider. You do not need to pay anything out of pocket.
Schedule Your Appointment
Call us at Golden Touch Behavioral Care Center, and we’ll match you with a therapist who fits your needs and preferences. We offer in-person and telehealth sessions to make care even more accessible.
Veteran-Backed, Veteran-Focused: Therapy That Respects Your Story
At Golden Touch, we specialize in trauma-informed, culturally sensitive therapy that honors the experiences of veterans. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we listen, adapt, and walk beside you at a pace that feels safe and respectful.
Many of our veteran clients come to us dealing with:
- Combat-related trauma
- Difficulty adjusting to civilian life
- Grief and loss
- Isolation or disconnection
- Family tension or relationship breakdowns
- Emotional numbness or shutdown
We create a nonjudgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, whether you want to talk about your experiences, find tools to manage stress, or feel heard.
Get Real Tools to Support Your Mental Health
Therapy isn’t about reliving your past. It’s about learning how to move forward with clarity, strength, and support. When you work with a licensed therapist, you can:
- Sleep better and reduce nightmares
- Understand and manage triggers
- Improve communication with loved ones
- Reduce irritability, panic, or emotional shutdown
- Rebuild self-trust and confidence
- Process traumatic memories safely
Therapy gives you practical skills you can use every day to feel more stable, more present, and more in control of your mental and emotional health.
You Don’t Have to Go Through This Alone
One of the most complex parts of mental health struggles is the sense of isolation. But you’re not alone, and you don’t have to figure this out by yourself.
If you’re a veteran in Las Vegas who needs support but feels stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin, we’re here to make the process simple and supportive.
Even if you don’t know what you need yet, even if you’re nervous to start, even if you’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t work, we encourage you to reach out. The proper support can make all the difference.
