veterans, active duty members, and spouses
Are you an active duty service member?
Whether you are an E1 or a 1 Star, Dr. Rozycki has experience working with military personnel of all ranks and branches. She has worked on three different installations. So whether you are enlisted or an officer, she has an insider understanding of your world; from disciplinary actions to promotion ceremonies, she has been alongside members just like you. She has worked with reservists and those in the Guard on active orders. She has counselled members on a range of concerns from unexpected orders, stress from challenging work schedules, traumatic memories and continued jumpiness, anger outbursts, long-distance relationship stress, toxic leadership, and difficulties transitioning into new ranks or out of the service. If you’re looking for support, reach out today.
Dr. Rozycki has extensive experience working on military installations and for the VA for over 10 years. She completed her doctoral residency with the New Jersey VA Healthcare system. She has worked at the Goodfellow AFB Mental Health Clinic in both contracting and GS roles. She spent two years working with those members struggling with addictions at the Substance Abuse Rehabilitation Program at NAS Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Florida. She worked as a psychologist imbedded within primary care working alongside PCMs at Peterson-Schriever Garrison in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Also while in Colorado Springs, CO, she worked as a VA contractor conducting Compensation and Pension evaluations for veterans, retirees, and active duty members from Peterson-Schriever Garrison, Fort Carson, and the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA). So whether you call her “Doc” or “the Wizard,” she’ll speak speak acronym right along with you!
are you a military VETERAN
or military retiree?
If your answer is yes, you have my deepest respect. Maybe you too come from a family with multiple military veterans—ours includes Army, Navy, and Air Force. Our family has veterans who served at Monte Cassino during World War II, in the Navy during Vietnam, and the Iraqi Wars of the 1990s and the 2000s. My grandfather and grandmother were World War II Army Veterans fighting for the Allied Forces after being released from prisoner of war gulags in Siberia. Maybe you’re like my grandfather and silently suffering, keeping your trauma to yourself and using beer as a sleep aid. Maybe you’re like my grandmother and open to telling stories of wartime experiences but still very much affected by what you experienced, with it changing the fabric of who you are. Whether I knew it or not, listening to war stories as my bedtime stories may have prepared me for my future career as a military psychologist and now an Army wife.
As a military psychologist, I have worked with Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Space Force, and Coast Guard members. I have worked with all branches of service on two bases, one naval air station, and for the VA over a 10 year period. As much as I have some fluency in speaking military acronym, I realize this is not the same as putting on the uniform. Still, I believe you deserve to talk to someone who understands and respects your experience as much as a non-military member can.
counseling for military spouses
Dr. Rozycki is an Army wife and understands the role of a military spouse first hand. Pride for your member’s service is mixed with the challenges of moves, TDYs, deployments, and long work hours. Moving across continents are all a part of that unique experience that you can’t truly understand unless you’ve lived it. Managing a household while your spouse is away for months at a time requires a special pivoting that spouses can only understand; and don’t forget, we do this sometimes thousands of miles away from family or friends. Connecting with other spouses can definitely be a source of support but then it’s heartbreaking to say goodbye to your friends who PCS before you do. And then to start again with new friends can sometimes feel exhausting. Making friends and losing them within months takes a certain getting used to. This role is a mix of exciting and anxiety provoking all in one. Sometimes having your own private time to focus on your needs helps you cope with all the changes.
AROSE eTherapy offers convenient service that may continue uninterrupted despite Dr. Rozycki’s relocation and yours. Skip the long wait on the appointment line and reach out today!
online therapy to support
Military family members
Supporting your military family member can be a source of pride and sometimes a source of worry. It’s not uncommon for families to worry about the safety of their member while deployed, carrying out military duties, and after returning home. There can be tremendous fear in thinking about their safety and fear about when they might recover from injuries, both physical and emotional. Whether you’re a parent, sibling, or child of an active duty member, it’s okay to seek support for yourself. Online counseling can help you as you try to support your loved one through their calling as an active duty member, veteran, or retiree.
Counseling for
Government Employees
Working in the military system is truly unique from traditions, protocols, and culture to acronyms. It’s hard to understand unless you know the system first hand. Dr. Rozycki has over 10 years experience working for the government on military installations and for the VA Healthcare System. Talking to someone who understands the benefits and frustrations of these large systems can make a huge difference in your therapeutic experience.
For instance, Dr. Rozycki has spent years either juggling contract companies or working in a GS role. Whether you’re stressed from the constant changing of contract companies or from feeling stuck in the GS system to reach a retirement goal, you should talk to an online counselor who understands. She understands the tension of salary negotiations and benefit changes. Working in such a large and complex system has its challenges and rewards that are unique from the civilian sector. Schedule an appointment today with someone who understands these challenges personally. AROSE eTherapy offers the unique understanding needed for effective therapy.
